With over 12 years of industry experience under her belt, Nicole currently serves as Regional Market Manager for Cortina Leathers. Before moving to NYC in 2020, Nicole called Los Angeles “home”. There, she stumbled into the interior design industry after logging countless hours at eclectic temp assignments including (but not limited to) aircraft leasing, residential construction, and monitoring calls for a prison phone provider. After years of administrative service, Nicole happily made the shift to #replife, serving as ambassador for materials such as decorative glass, carpet, and hard-surface flooring. Originally an East Coast gal, she jumped at the opportunity to make the cross-country move to NYC in March of 2020, only to find that “nobody was there”. In October of 2021, while aimlessly walking around the Upper West Side with her cat in a Baby Bjorn (both masked), Nicole met a nice tall man who agreed to marry her “someday”. They live together, most of the time, in Chelsea.
