Michelle Lipson is a furniture maker in Philadelphia. She earned her BFA in Fiber Art at the Maryland Institute College of Art. After graduating she moved to the Southwest, then to Mexico to pursue a strong interest in vernacular architecture.

Following a year of studying different methods of alternative building styles, Michelle moved back to the East Coast to focus her energy on construction on a smaller scale. In 1999 after three years of apprenticeships she decided to work on her own.
