I highly recommend Nina for residential or commercial space design. She is able to see the bigger picture and will create a fabulous schematic of the floor plan with options of how to furnish with a great sense of scale and style.

I was at my wit’s end when I hired Nina. I had already tried countless furniture arrangements and DIY projects, paid an architect and hired two designers to work on the vision for my home, -- all unsuccessful. I was told time and time again by other professionals that my living room could not accommodate the seating I desired. I had seen some of Nina’s work through various friends and really liked the function and beauty of Nina’s designs. I decided to give it one last try with a focus on the living room; and boy, I’m sure glad I did! First, let me say that Nina is a joy to work with on a personal level. She is professional, but quite warm and pleasant (with a good sense of humor, I might add). Most of all, she listened – actually listened – to what my goals were for the space. My goals were her goals, which was a refreshing change of pace from what I experienced with others. Nina came up with a floor plan and design elements that I would have never thought of and it is BEAUTIFUL. She has an amazing talent to visualize space and think outside of the box, giving my home the classic, yet casual feel I yearned for. Her knack for incorporating architectural features, custom built-ins, lighting, gorgeous fabrics and color makes every space she designs singular and inviting. More...

We decided to remodel our home in three phases over three summers. The first year we did the living room and family room, removing the old carpeting and staining the concrete floor. Nina designed the family room fireplace, replacing the red brick with stacked stone, concrete columns, a concrete mantle and a flat screen TV. Nina replaced a dated and unused wet bar with a computer nook. She was the project designer and brought in different trades to do the work. She oversaw everything from beginning to end. We were so pleased with how both rooms turned out, we couldn't wait to get started on the kitchen. Once again Nina was the designer and brought in an excellent craftsman who created our custom cabinets and an eating peninsula which Nina designed with a bookcase facing the family room. All the trades were top-notch, professionals, who worked on time and on budget. When you hire Nina, you get her design skill and an excellent team who can turn her designs into reality with no surprises. With Nina you are getting a project manager who will oversee the whole job. She listens to what your want and don't want, to your ideas and your schedule and your budget and puts everything together. She can narrow what seems like endless choices to a realistic number and when you can't decide, you can trust her professional judgment to be something you'll be happy with because she has taken the time to get to know you. We found two tiles depicting Torrey pines -- iconic to the San Diego area, and she recommended putting them in the concrete columns of our fireplace -- offsetting them, one under the mantel and one closer to the floor. It is something we wouldn't have thought of, but is perfect. She picked the right color to paint our walls and the right color for our grout in a matter of seconds, saving me hours of staring at paint chips and a color wheel of grout. And if you like to go to showrooms, which I do, she knows the best ones to go to, again saving you time. She is very accessible, answering all your emails, phone calls and text messages. We are so pleased with how our living room, family room and kitchen turned out, we can't wait to start on our upstairs where Nina has redesigned our master bathroom and bedroom. Let the demo begin because we know we are going to love the finished product, thanks to Nina. More...

It has been a pleasure to work with Nina Williams on numerous High End Residential projects in both California and Colorado since the late 1980's. Her experience in specifying the appropriate materials helps to achieve the expected outcome. It not only satisfies the client but helps to keep the project on time and in budget.
Nina works well with the contractors hired for the various tasks to complete construction and interior finishes. She has the knowledge and experience to have discussions on site to work out details and come to final decisions.
I found it helpful to have Nina as a team partner on the projects we worked on together. More...

We gutted our home to the bones. The project stayed on time and in budget. The outcome was everything we expected. The best way to describe it was that every detail we wanted in material and new space flowed beautifully. The kitchen being the highlight.

I had many ideas going into this project on our vacation home. What stands out about this experience is that Nina really listened to me. Her suggestions always took my ideas into account and then made them make sense from a design perspective.
The minute I enter our home I feel surrounded by beauty and warmth.
I relax and enjoy!!!! More...

I've worked with Nina on many projects over the years as her cabinetmaker. She is always happy and fun to be around. More importantly, she can pull design concepts together using a variety of elements, blending color and style to fit the clients vision and more. Nina's scope and attention to detail is impressive. A work of art!

In addition to our homes, Nina remodeled my retail store. From the demo to the polished floor, wall re-design and colors, cabinet and organization to mouldings, she did it all. My wife and I have used Nina for the two homes we have owned. She has a talent that allows her to see possibilities that my wife and I can't. She is very personable, she will get to know her client well so that she can figure out what designs, colors, etc., will work best. We're thrilled with the results, her creativity is above all; details, textures, color, fabrics, she knows her stuff! More...

Nina is a very talented designer who can take an average space and make it truly special. Nina has worked on my house in three stages and transformed a "track" house into something that is unique and has a custom feel. Not only is she a great designer but she also understands the "building process" and speaks the contractors language to ensure a smooth process and great outcome on time and within budget. I loved working with Nina and am so happy with our results. More...
