Nichola DePass, Interior Designer & Owner
NICHOLA FRANCESCA LLC®
Much like her early passion for creating her own line of custom jewelry and fashion, each project Nichola DePass and her full-service design team undertakes is distinct, resonating with the clients’ dreams, their space and their experience.
For more than 22 years, Nichola has been designing high-end and high-profile residential interiors, chic commercial office spaces, boutique hotels and retail boutiques.
“I’m a very intuitive person, which has helped me throughout my career. I listen intently to clients’ goals and dreams and capture the essence of their personality to infuse into each project,” she shares.
Q: Weren’t you recently included in the Décor USA book?
A: Yes, I was included in this year’s beautiful book celebrating design and creativity. Among the 300 attendees at the launch event, I was able to reconnect with my former boss, who shared his pride in my accomplishments as founder of my own design firm. It was a full-circle, spectacular moment.
Q: What defines your signature style?
A: My work is a reflection of my clients, not a telltale reproduction of a brand. We are fearless in our creativity, working with the elements that define the people and the spaces they occupy. Anything goes, and as a result, the colors, textiles, furnishings and art choices are boundless.
Q: What excites you most about a new project?
A: I’ve been blessed with incredible clients. Whether working with spouses on their home, a set of partners in a commercial building or owners of large corporations, the dynamic is always different, and the energy is electric. Fusing clients’ different tastes together is a challenge I embrace and find quite fulfilling.
