Hi there, I’m Nicole Russell, an environmental and interior designer driven by a passion for creating spaces that inspire and connect.

Rooted in studying design and anthropology at Syracuse University, I approach every project with curiosity and a deep appreciation for human connection. My work explores how design can tell stories, evoke emotions, and shape experiences, aiming to balance beauty and impact.
