Hello! I'm Micah Shae

As the founder and principal designer of award-winning M. Shae Interior Design, I help homeowners transform complex design challenges into beautifully resolved, highly personal spaces.

​

Whether navigating a major remodel, making countless selections, or struggling to create a cohesive home, my clients value having an experienced designer who can simplify the process, anticipate potential problems, and guide each decision with clarity. Through thoughtful space planning, carefully curated materials, and close attention to every detail, I create refined, functional interiors that feel distinctive—not predictable or overdesigned.

​

What sets me apart is that my inspiration begins with my clients. I take the time to listen carefully and understand their lifestyle, preferences, priorities, and the way they want their home to feel. Rather than imposing a signature look, I translate each client’s individuality into a cohesive design that is elevated, personal, and uniquely theirs.

​

An Austin native, I draw inspiration from the city’s vibrant growth, enduring character, and diverse homes. My passion for interior design began with transforming my own homes into beautiful, livable environments. While raising my two daughters, I returned to school to pursue that passion, graduating Magna Cum Laude from Bellevue College in Seattle with a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Interior Design. Today, as an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers and Communications Chair for the ASID Texas Austin Design Community, I bring local insight, professional expertise, and a deeply personal approach to every project.

​

I believe luxury is more than how a home looks—it is the ease of a thoughtfully managed experience and the confidence that every element has been considered. My goal is to remove the stress and uncertainty from the design process while creating a home that reflects your story, supports the way you live, and feels unmistakably yours.
