The Story Behind the Story
Backyard beehives. Suburban homesteading in Southern California.
The woman behind Spring Moon Design, Michelle Standley, grew up in the desert suburbs of Los Angeles, surrounded by makers and backyard naturalists: a grandfather who bred birds and built wood furniture; a mother who arranged flowers and sewed clothes; and a father who kept bees and tended koi. She learned to sew and build, developing a lifelong fascination with craft and the natural world.
Since then, she has lived and worked around the world—from Hawaii to Seoul, Prague to Berlin, and from New York City to the Hudson Valley—gathering stories and honing an aesthetic shaped by nature and craft.
When she’s not tinkering or hunting for treasures, Michelle works as a writer, artist, and cultural historian.
