Born and raised near Boston and surrounded by her mother’s interior design work, Nicole embarked upon her first project at age 3, picking out her wallpaper and coordinating dresser set. Years later, after garnering her undergrad degree in International Business and working at the U.S. Embassy in Rome, Nicole furthered her aspirational beginnings by completing her grad work at Sotheby’s Auction House in New York City for Fine and Decorative American Art.
While initially moving to Washington D.C. to work at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, it was large-scale event planning that captured Nicole’s attention. A demanding industry requiring advanced communication skills, intricate, ever-changing logistics, and creative, detail-oriented design work was the perfect environment to hone mastery. Fifteen years and hundreds of events later, including several inaugural balls for President Obama, Nicole now calls Asheville home and is thrilled to bring her experience in staging, design, photography, and logistics to Asheville’s Real Estate Market.
