Michelle Castagna | Designing with Soul and Intention

Meet Michelle Castagna
Founder & Interior Designer
Luxury Guide Design Curator

Michelle Castagna is an interior designer whose work is defined by a deep belief that thoughtfully designed spaces have the power to transform not just homes—but lives. With more than 25 years of experience and a background in architectural interiors, she brings a refined, global perspective to her work, shaped in part by her studies in Italy and an enduring appreciation for culture, beauty, and craftsmanship.

Specializing in high-end residential interiors, Michelle creates spaces that are both luxurious and deeply personal. Her designs are rooted in the idea that a home should reflect the individuality of those who live within it—layered, intentional, and elevated in a way that enhances everyday living. Her approach blends sophistication with warmth, ensuring each space feels as inviting as it is visually compelling.

For Michelle, design is not simply about aesthetics—it is about experience. She believes that well-designed environments can positively impact health, mood, and overall well-being. Through thoughtful curation of materials, color, and layout, she creates interiors that inspire comfort, promote balance, and foster a true sense of belonging.

Her process is collaborative and engaging, guided by a belief that the journey should be as enjoyable as the outcome. Known for her approachable and playful spirit, Michelle works closely with her clients to bring their vision to life while ensuring a seamless and rewarding experience from concept to completion.

Beyond her work in design, Michelle is deeply committed to giving back, using her talents to support meaningful causes and make a positive impact within her community. Family remains at the center of her world, serving as a constant source of inspiration and grounding. Whether she is designing, cooking, or spending time outdoors horseback riding, she brings the same sense of passion, balance, and intention to every aspect of her life.

At Muse Design Studio, Michelle’s mission is simple yet powerful: to create interiors that speak to the soul—spaces that inspire, comfort, and elevate the way her clients live each day.
