Nicole's interest in interior design began as a child. In high school, she won her first Interior Design award, earning first place in a design competition hosted by FHA-HERO. Nicole went on to earn her associate's degree in Interior Design from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. After years of working alongside award-winning designers and design-build companies, Nicole recognized the value of deeper collaboration with both clients and the teams that bring her designs to life. Her passion for design and desire to create meaningful client relationships led her to open Tidepool Design Studio. Tidepool Design Studio reflects Nicole’s commitment to creating thoughtful, personalized spaces that truly resonate with her clients' lifestyles. Through this venture, Nicole enjoys engaging with clients on a more intimate level, fostering creativity and crafting designs that are not only beautiful, but functional and enduring as well.
