The design firm was founded by nationally known interior designer, speaker and author, Michael A. Thomas, in 1996. The firm’s expansive design portfolio includes residential projects from La Quinta, CA to Las Vegas and from Palm Springs, Ca to Palm Beach, FL, and from Los Angeles to New York. Commercial projects include the historic restoration of the Welwood Murray Memorial Library in Palm Springs, CA., and the redesign of the three clubhouses for Sun City Palm Desert Country Club in Palm Desert, CA.

In 2014 and 2016, Houzz.com awarded the firm with “Best Of Houzz for Client Satisfaction” based on client reviews submitted. And Thumbtack.com awarded the firm The Best Of 2015 and the Best of 2016 for the high level of customer service and satisfaction.

Thomas is a Fellow of the American Society of Interior Designers (FASID) and a Certified Aging In Place Specialist (CAPS) and has been published in national media including Palm Springs Life, Time Magazine, Dwell Magazine, The Desert Sun, Florida Home + Garden, Christian Science Monitor and the Miami Herald. He has also been featured on a HG-TV and the Travel Channel with a video story about one of his award winning ocean front projects. He is the co-author of Residential Design For Aging In Place, the first book to address the accessible design of homes for some 76 million baby boomers.
