Michelle Powell Designs

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved working with fabrics, textures, and design. What began as a curiosity for how things were made soon became a passion for creating pieces that feel both personal and timeless.

​

Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in upholstery, soft furnishings, and dressmaking, drawn to the way a single detail – a stitch, a fabric choice, a finish – can completely transform a piece. I love breathing new life into much-loved furniture, designing cushions that spark joy, or creating garments that carry a story of their own.

​

Part of my journey is sharing the process behind the work – the sketches, the experiments, the craftsmanship to favourite suppliers and inspiring creatives I meet on my travels – so you can see the artistry that happens along the way, not just the finished product.

Michelle Powell Designs is more than a business to me; it’s a way of bringing thoughtful creativity and care into everyday life, one project at a time.
