We have been working with Michelle Vazquez, lead designer at Studio Elle Marie, since last year on two projects: our residence in Miami and a vacation home in the Keys. During this time, she has diligently worked for us demonstrating consistently the highest quality and creativity, follow-through, and follow-up on our requests (whether changes, questions, input, etc.) and providing us with designs that balance our style requirements with new trends, longevity, and a timeless look. Finally, she approaches each project like if it were her home with the highest attention to detail from project inception to completion. As such, we highly recommend her to anyone who wants to have a beautiful space and wants to achieve this with a top-notch designer/project leader.

I have worked with Michelle Vazquez at Studio Elle Marie for several months now. She is my designer “on call” for a large outdoor project including a pool, cabana and pergola. She is extremely knowledgeable about the new build process and has been instrumental in not only finding contractors, but working seamlessly with them. She obtains buy-in and alignment before any large decisions are made. She has a keen eye for design and always keeps the big picture in mind when making selections. She brings ideas to the table and is not afraid to push back when necessary. Michelle is super responsive, punctual and creative. I would recommend Studio Elle Marie for any job – big or small.
