About us

Michele, based in Rochester, NY, has been an artist for as long as she can remember. From the moment she picked up a pencil, she’s been sketching, painting, and experimenting with colors. Her love for art led her to earn a degree in visual communications design, graduating in 2019. That same year, she took the plunge and launched two businesses: So Much Better—an interior painting company—and In the Mick of Time—a mural and sensory room business.

Michele’s a big believer that color is magic. She’s always been fascinated by how different shades can totally change the vibe of a room or a space. She’s all about color theory—the way colors play off each other, create mood, and stir emotions. Michele uses color to bring out the feeling she wants to create. Calm and peaceful or bold and lively, she knows just the right tones to make it happen.

Michele started painting murals in her 20s, and over the years, she’s had the joy of creating immersive spaces for her kids. From fun, colorful murals to sensory rooms that spark creativity and imagination, she’s dedicated to making spaces that inspire and uplift, especially for families.

With every brushstroke, Michele’s passion for art and color shines through. She’s here to transform spaces, one vibrant wall at a time.
