our mission

At MND Kitchens, we transform spaces with thoughtful design and care — inspiring, nurturing, and reflecting your unique way of living.

our process

We start by listening and learning how you envisioning cooking, gathering, and entertaining in your new space.

With that vision in mind, we blend highest standards of customer service with two decades of kitchen design experience, translating your ideas into clear plans, designs, and ultimately the materials, sourcing, and anything else that is needed for a successful renovation experience.

The result is a kitchen that feels lovingly personal and effortlessly functional, delivered through a process as enjoyable as the space itself.

Michelle Doherty, Founder & Principal Kitchen Designer

Michelle began her career in luxury kitchen showrooms in New York City, where she developed an instinct for pairing cutting‑edge appliances with handcrafted European cabinetry.

For more than a decade, she designed hundreds of high profile kitchens for private residences. Michelle has a reputation for meticulous space planning and an eye for luxurious practicality.

Her encyclopedic knowledge of the technical aspects of design as much as her unique style & impeccable taste make her work stand out so well.

Her portfolio spans penthouse renovations in Manhattan, coastal retreats on Long Island, historic brownstone restorations, and suburban homes alike.

At the heart of Michelle’s approach is the belief that a kitchen is the space for gathering : a place where conversations unfold and memories are made.

She prioritizes practical workflows (food prep, cooking, social gatherings, family routines) so that everyday cooking feels effortless and celebrations feel expansive, all without sacrificing the understated luxury that defines her work.

Today, Michelle’s consultancy, MND Kitchens, offers clients a guided journey from initial concept and if they choose, all the way through final installation. Throughout the process, she collaborates closely with her clients too design kitchens that function beautifully, feel elevated, and invite lasting memories.
