We have been working with Nina for over 2 years now, beginning in the early stages of a major construction project. Nina has been involved in the entire process, from: floor plans, kitchen design, tile selection, paint colors, roof selection, plumbing fixtures, countertops, doorknobs, cabinet hardware, floor stain, window treatments, furniture, accessory styling -- and the list goes on. She understands the challenges of having kids and pets and how family life intersects with making decisions (small examples include choosing a faucets with handles that are easy to clean and durable fabrics --- things I would not have necessarily thought about on my own). She's great at seeing the big picture and how all the pieces will eventually come together. Nina is respectful of budget concerns and also of personal items used in the design. Not only do we appreciate her design aesthetic, but also her patience, level-headedness, and practicality. We will definitely be working with her for a long time to come and look forward to it!
