Michelle Lane

Michelle Lane of Whirlygig Designs was born for a life of creativity. If "necessity is the mother of invention", then Michelle is clearly the mother of necessity! Typical lack of funding at an early age caused Michelle to find repurpose in seemingly mundane items, such as the time she used a bed skirt and sheets to fashion the much-coveted canopy bed of her youth. Where there's a will, there's a way and somehow Michelle always found herself three steps ahead of the game.

When Michelle created Whirlygig Designs - thus named as homage to that ingenious child that has always remained within her - she was determined to offer her clients an escape from the big-box retailers. Michelle's to-the-trade resources ensure that her interiors don't appear to be merely plucked from the pages of a retail catalogue, but rather possess designs as creative and unique as each of her clients.

Michelle and her husband Greg are both water babies at heart and when not at their home on Lake Norman with their puppies you can find them on the white sand beaches of the gulf coast of Florida. #alwaysstayhumbleandkind
