Michele Alfano is the founder and creative director of Michele Alfano Design, a collaborative studio focused on the nexus of interior design and technology. A trained architect and daughter of an inventor, Michele is a thought-provoking designer who offers an Architectural eye on Interior Design and Style. She brings her signature approach, “a tailored emotional intelligence,” to life by heightening the experience of spatial and daily living. She believes spaces should beckon you to think, feel and touch. Her work is a narrative of opposites –a crisp modern point of view is complemented by an imaginative use of light, pattern and texture producing a visually sleek, masculine elegance. Michele’s designs has been featured in publications such as Interior Design, and Contemporary Tile & Stone Magazine. She has received honors in the industry such as the 21st Interiors Award for Best Public Space, and appeared on Million Dollar Decorating podcast and BlogTalk radio. Michele feels strongly about giving back and participates as both designer and steering committee member for DIFFA’s Picnic by Design since 2012 and DIFFA’s Dining by Design. With her blog ModDesignGuru.com, she trend spots cutting-edge modern design and has traveled with Tile of Spain to Seville, Designhounds in NYC, Modenus Blog Tours to Vegas and Orlando for KBIS, to Santa Monica for WestEdge Design Fair, to Cologne, Germany for Ambiente, and as one of Brizo’s Blogger 19 in NYC.
