About Michelle

Michelle Wan writes about the stuff floating around your home that you can’t see—and what to actually do about it. As Brand Manager and copywriter at Filterbuy, she turns the technical side of indoor air quality—MERV ratings, filtration, HVAC efficiency, pressure drop—into plain-English advice busy homeowners can use without a degree in heating and cooling.

You’ve probably seen Michelle beyond the page, too. She’s the face of much of Filterbuy’s educational content, appearing in the brand’s organic social posts and YouTube videos to break down common air quality questions and show real solutions in action. Whether she’s writing it or explaining it on camera, the goal is the same: make clean air something anyone can take charge of.

Michelle earned her B.A. in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 2021. A long-standing interest in the natural world and the environment around her led her into the air quality industry, where she now helps people understand what they’re breathing—and what they can do about it.

What sets her advice apart is where it comes from. Working directly with Filterbuy’s U.S.-based manufacturing team—across factories in Alabama, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Utah—Michelle bases her writing on how filters are actually built, tested, and used in real homes, not on spec sheets alone. Whether the topic is allergy relief, pet odors, or keeping an AC system running efficiently, she gives straight, reliable answers so you can breathe easier without overthinking it.

Michelle lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she spends her weekends on the shore and the trails with her dog, Tobi.

“I don’t want anyone to feel like they need an HVAC license just to pick the right filter. My job is to give you the straight answer, explain why it matters, and let you get back to your day.” - Michelle Wan
