BIO
Nora has created beautiful living environments for over 30 years. A native of the northeast, she began her career as an Interior Designer in Connecticut during the late 1980’s. Drawn by the energy of Colorado and its temperate sunny climate, in 1998 she relocated to Denver.
A lover of quality liberal arts education, Nora first majored in Philosophy in undergraduate school and then studied art history and interior design. In addition she volunteered as a docent at historic home museums, landmark public buildings and art museums. Her love for the global history of the decorative arts and architecture continually fuels her passion and inspiration for interior design.
After settling in Colorado, Nora founded her own design business in August 2000 and has since become a respected member of the Denver design community. She is currently part of the Designer Portfolios program at the Denver Design Center. Her work has been published in the Denver Post.
NORA’S APPROACH TO DESIGN
Designing a custom home or interior is not a cut and dried affair. Understanding that design is actually a process enables you to relax and trust us to guide you through. The first step is defining the scope of your project and determining your design aesthetic. We then evaluate your existing home or new home plans to address any weaknesses in terms of layout and interior architectural details.
From there we explore various design scheme options that meet your project requirements and design preferences. Once you have settled on a specific direction we fully develop the design. The design process is fluid which allows us to fine tune and edit as we move along. This gives you room to contemplate details and revisit them with Nora if you need.
Once the final design is approved we order materials, build and fabricate your design. Our clients appreciate having the freedom to relax and enjoy the design process knowing that we are handling all the stressful details.
