Michelle Chase, AKBD
Owner, Designer
With over 18 years of Certified Design experience in the Kitchen & Bath industry, Michelle brings a deep level of knowledge to all of our client projects. Whether it be new construction or remodels, she enjoys working with clients on understanding their goals and bringing their visions to reality in personalized ways.
Graduating from the University of New Hampshire (Go Wildcats!) with a degree in Business Management, she soon after became a certified kitchen designer. Michelle founded Anchor Design Co. in 2016, creating a new and exciting design experience in the Bangor area. A focus on client relationships and project management has driven the development of the business over the past 10 years. In addition to design work, she oversees the operation and creative direction of the company.
Personally, she loves all things food! Cooking, trying new restaurants, and sharing those moments with her friends and family. She spends as much time on or near the water as possible – boating, floating & enjoying life!
