Michelle Villa-Abrille – Assistant Designer

"The decorator must face his task with no rules or formulas to guide him; he must depend upon his own sense of suitability and proportion and his feeling for color and form....The mood of his approach to his task should be a happy mixture of fearlessness and common sense and that priceless ingredient, artistic ingenuity". -- Rue W. Carpenter.

This kind of fearlessness is that special ingredient that best describes Michelle and her journey to where she is. Her interior design journey began in the Philippine School of Interior Design, where she was awarded Best Thesis in the graduating class, then later moved to earn her Advanced Study Degree in Fashion Institute for Design and Merchandising in Kitchen and Bath Design.

Michelle's sense of adventure has given her opportunities to work with prestigious designers on a myriad of projects both national and international, from small projects to celebrity homes to palaces in Jeddah, Riyadh, and Saudi Arabia.

After her big adventure, Michelle returned to her first love; the Kitchen, where the heart of the home is and a kitchen isn't just a kitchen; it is where friends and family gather to eat, work and talk. Because of this, she firmly understands that a kitchen should be designed around what is important -- fun, function, food and life.
