”We count our blessings every day that we found Nicholas to turn our Bucktown house into a home. What separates Nicholas from other designers (besides his impeccable taste) is that he really took the time to understand us as people; not just how we envision using our space, but how we operate in it and what passions drive us through our lives. By taking the time to understand us, he was able to infuse his designs with bespoke details made just for us. This continued throughout, from inception to final product. We loved that Nicholas brought us options, thoughtfully listened to our feedback, and that we made the final selections together, leading to a sense of pride and ownership in the final choices.”

“Working with Nicholas was very easy. He was instantly responsive throughout. Because he was able to offer contractors with whom he has decades-long experience and relationships, he was able ensure that the project was managed on time, on budget, and with quality and accountability throughout. We've now lived in Nicholas's creation for about 6 months and are able to appreciate every day the subtle nuances that make our home feel like it was built just for us. It's the first time in our lives that we can truly say that we'd rather be in our home than anywhere else in the world. That is the true gift Nicholas's vision, care, and skill brought to our lives.”

”We've worked with NMI for over a decade on a range of small projects to a large-scale renovation. Nicholas and his team are impeccable with their word and work. Nicholas is able to zone in on a client's design style and lifestyle.  They are responsive to the client's budget and needs throughout a project. They do not miss the details! NMI is an excellent design project manager. We trust Nicholas and his team implicitly.”

”We hired Nicholas when we purchased a unit in a not yet constructed development in River North. We were overwhelmed with the finish selections and the electrical/mechanical plans. We are visual people and when left to our devices with nothing to view, we knew we needed professional help that would prevent us from making costly mistakes. We met Nicholas years earlier and always liked his style and attention to details and art. Nicholas came to our traditional North Shore home to develop an understanding of our taste and how best to pour that into new construction. During the selections process, Nicholas was always supplying moodboards for us to make informed decisions. We wanted to transition our appreciation of the past into a modern downtown condo. His recommendations were always spot on. We loved how he absorbed our taste and incorporated our love of warm woods set in a sophisticated, contemporary design.”

“Nicholas strengths are his knowledge of what is on trend and in his visual presentation on how to incorporate those trends into the final product, and pouring those into blueprints for our contractor. Nicholas has excellent, well curated resources across the U.S for furniture and accessories. Nicholas encouraged our involvement and respected our choices. Throughout the process, we always felt a part of his team. Today, we are absolutely thrilled with the results and happy to have developed a level of respect and friendship with Nicholas and his staff.”

“Nicholas is one of the most creative and dynamic designers I know. I've worked with him and his team on several luxury projects over the last several years. NMI continuously strives to source unique products. He actively listens to his client's; with his discerning eye, and meticulous attention to detail, guides them through the entire process from inception. His firm has the ability to adapt stylistically to a wide range of client's needs and can execute full house builds, renovations, kitchen and bath specifically, or a fresh face lift. I highly recommend NMI.”

“I have had the honor of working with NMI on a number of luxury kitchen projects. Nicholas’s attention to detail, creativity, transparency and professionalism is admirable. Nicholas does a fantastic job of listening to his clients needs and then brings their dream kitchen to life. Nicholas is the best of the best when it comes to designing spaces for his clients.”
