5 Minutes With… Michelle Fahmy
Making her WNWN debut, the Los Angeles-based designer dishes on bold being the new norm, her belief in divine timing and the luxury of a conversation pit.
Driven by her connection to her color, pattern and art and the creative alchemy that flourishes within a diverse circle of artisans, interior designer Michelle Fahmy of Haus of Meeshie consistently creates double-take interiors. Often drawn to unexpected pattern pairing and theatrical-inspired statements, Michelle never shies away from designing statement spaces filled with eclectic, eye-catching furnishings.
