On Friday, March 9th, NESAD celebrated their #3 Ranking among “America’s Top 10 Interior Design Schools” for 2012 at both the graduate and undergraduate levels.  Among the high honorary is also Karen Clarke, co-director of the University’s Interior Design program who was named one of DesignIntelligence’s “25 Most Admired Educators of 2012“. 

During the event, Michael also spoke about his experiences after NESAD and where he is  now.  Michael has worked at one of the New York’s top residential design firms, Alan Tanksley, Inc.  where he gained tremendous respect for his craftsmanship and unique taste.  He also established himself at one of the nations top ten hospitality design firms, BBGM.  A few years ago, Michael has been seen on national television when he entered HGTV Season 5 Design Star and placed second.  He was also designer and host of Clean House New York where his design skills were put to the test.  Currently, Michael runs a flexible design studio called Michael Moeller Designwhere he uses his inventive aesthetics and applies them to each space he designs.
