TESTIMONIALS

“SHANNON BRAGG”

I have had the privilege of working along side Nicolas for nearly a decade now.  Still to this day I remember my first encounter with Nicolas as a young eager and well travelled soul.  He began his career with the firm under my wing, a vibrant and enthusiastic designer.  Over the years he has tailored his style and design eye to be one of exquisite taste followed by flawless execution.  He has developed a methodical approach when working with clients and working in spaces.  Having had the opportunity to be coached and mentored by some of the best Curators in the design world and through his love for self reflection, self development, and a keen ability to the listening of others, he has created a niche for himself. He has a nurtured love of textiles, botanicals, and art that flows freely through him making a direct connection with all things organic in nature.  He is loyal to his clients and to his team.  He puts his whole heart into his projects and will do whatever it takes to see it through to completion and then elevate it to an even higher level. 

Pablo Picasso once said “ The act of creation is first an act of destruction.”  It is rare to find individuals who have the courage to destroy their limitations and what they know themselves to be.  It is also rare to find an individual willing to destroy their creation in an act of love to recreate it into something better than what was once before.  Like a phoenix rising through the ashes, it takes courage, action, and a strong sense of conviction to do just that.  And that is exactly what Nicolas brings to his design!

I worked with Nicolas for approximately 5 years at RH, and know him to be an excellent example of many positive qualities. Nicolas came to work every day with a clear plan of action for what he needed to accomplish. He would always accomplish his tasks, taking time to coach and lead others on visual standards and excellence. He sets high goals for himself, and demands the best of himself and others. He loves to learn about new products, and to share that knowledge with those around him.
