✦ Message from the Founder
Hi, I'm Michelle Pham

I grew up in the coastal city of Vancouver, Canada. As the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, my parents were crafty out of necessity — they passed along a few DIY tricks, and their design flair, to me.

I graduated from Bates College and spent a decade in tech at Google and TikTok before pivoting to design Inner Child full-time. I live in New York City with my husband, Akshay.

As a maximalist, I'm always searching for rare, exceptional pieces with a great story behind them.

Welcome to a life in color!
