Nicole Hirschman i n t e r i o r d e s i g n p o r t fo l i o
In the right hands, color, light, and space are powerful elements of design that can evoke emotion and convey a message, if executed the right way. As an intuitive designer, I often know what clients want even when they don’t, filling in the blanks and figuring out what their vision is and making it happen for them, even better than they could have imagined. My ability to connect with each and every individual client and tailor my design to their specific, individual needs is what sets me apart from the rest. I’m not afraid to go outside my comfort zone, because I don’t have one.
As a child, I was always very imaginative, and had a sixth sense for reading people. I have carried this into adulthood. My goal is to revamp our concepts of beauty, femininity, elegance and simplicity, creating harmony between them and blurring the lines between furniture and interior design and artwork. What are my future aspirations? Let’s figure it out together.

Inspiration for Diffa DESIGN Concept: My idea for my diffa design came from the key word “undulating”, also known as a motif from the rococo era. I created a single object that included the walls, table, and seating within an 11” x 11” x 11” space that is big enough to seat and dine for a total of 10 people.
