Michelle Lei
Designer

Michelle first joined Belzberg Architects as an intern in 2019 while she was a graduate student in the Interior Design program at Pratt Institute. Though she studied in New York, she’s a native Californian and was eager to return to her hometown of San Gabriel Valley during her summer break. An internship opportunity came up at BA, and Michelle immediately applied. She was drawn in by the welcoming community and supportive work environment, aspects of the BA culture that resonated with her. The rest, as they say, is history. She continues to enjoy each project, learning the nuances that go into conceptualizing, planning, and executing.

When asked to do her BA Pecha Kucha, Michelle presented on how much she loves making fun boba and hopes to do a follow up. She is now aka Boba Girl!

Master of Fine Arts in Interior Design, Pratt Institute
