Hello! I'm Nicolle

I'm an interior designer with over 5 years experience in interior and architectural design, material selection, and project management in a diverse range of project types ranging from healthcare facilities, corporate offices, and residential spaces. I provide design solutions that integrate the goals of the client and unconventional materials to produce imaginative and enriching spaces for the occupants. I graduated from NYC’s Fashion Institute of Technology in 2018 where I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in interior design and art history. I am currently a teaching assistant for the design department and a current Master of Fine Arts (MFA) candidate at the University of California, Davis.
