Michele Zinsner Rivera is the co-founder and creative director of Everett Designs, known for blending refined interiors with a distinctly personal point of view. Her career began at Barneys New York in Store Design, where she collaborated with industry leaders including Peter Marino, Annabelle Selldorf, and Simon Doonan, an experience that shaped her lifelong approach to detail, storytelling, and elevated everyday living.

With over 25 years of experience spanning luxury retail, residential interiors, and construction management, Michele has built a reputation for visionary design, meticulous execution, and the ability to bring complex projects to life with clarity and warmth. Her work is rooted in the belief that spaces should feel both intentional and lived in beautiful, but never precious.

Today, Everett Designs is evolving into a broader lifestyle studio, where interiors intersect with fashion, travel, and visual storytelling. As Michele expands her work into lifestyle and fashion modeling, she is using her platform to explore the art of personal expression—how we live, dress, move, and inhabit the world around us. This next chapter is about presence, confidence, and creating a life that feels as beautiful as it looks.

Michele lives in Rye, New York, and works with clients and collaborators nationwide.
