In 1997, she took the helm of her family’s firm—formerly known as Triangle Interiors—after the passing of her beloved mother, Paulette. Since then, her own guiding mantra, “Life is short. Make it beautiful,” continues to inspire every project and decision today. What began as a family business has evolved into a nationally recognized design studio, celebrated for layering tradition with unexpected flair and creating spaces that feel both timeless and deeply personal.

A proud University of Texas graduate and member of Kappa Alpha Theta, Nicole recently completed the redesign of her own sorority house—just one in a portfolio that spans second homes, ranch retreats, new builds, and ground-up transformations nationwide. With an innate instinct for scale and color, she blends antiques with transitional pieces, modern details with storied finds, and refinement with a touch of the unexpected.

Her work has been featured in national publications and will soon debut at Kips Bay, cementing her place among the design world’s most notable talents. Still, Nicole measures success by the relationships she builds and lifelong friendships that follow.

When she’s not on a job site or sourcing the perfect antique, Nicole is at home with her husband and two children, always finding new ways to bring beauty into everyday life. As she likes to say, “Design first. Champagne always."
