Every great design starts with a plan
See it in your space before you buy
Michele builds a detailed design plan for every room, so you can see each piece in your space, in scale and side by side, before anything is ordered. It saves time, avoids costly mistakes and opens the door to to-the-trade furnishings you won't find online.
Prefer to work remotely or on your own timeline? E-Design delivers the same plan, with mood boards, floor plans, color schemes and shopping lists, to clients anywhere.

Hello, I'm Michele
Principal & lead designer
25+ years · Safety Harbor, Florida
Michele Riley is an interior designer with an eye for color, a love for texture and a lifelong passion for creating beautiful, meaningful spaces. As a child she was endlessly inspired by color, pattern and the way a room could make you feel.
That curiosity grew into a career helping clients bring their vision to life, blending creativity, function and a touch of the unexpected. When she isn't designing, she's traveling: every city, market and landscape adds a new layer to how she sees design.
