New York City based designer and on-air personality Nicole Gibbons is the founder of Nicole Gibbons Studio LLC, a lifestyle company that encompasses her boutique design studio as well as her popular decorating and lifestyle blog.

A child of the MTV generation with a background in fashion and a lifelong passion for design, Nicole offers a fresh perspective on style for the home, looking to the Fashion Week runways as well as her favorite celebrities and pop culture icons as sources of inspiration.

Her design aesthetic reflects an eclectic mix of modern and traditional elements with a touch of whimsy and a fashion-forward edge.

She strives to create interiors that are not only chic and timeless, but also highly personalized and deeply meaningful for her clients.

Since launching in January 2008, Nicole’s blog, So Haute, has become an indispensable guide to stylish living for readers around the globe who are passionate about their homes.

Originally from the Midwest, Nicole graduated with a degree in Communication Studies from Northwestern University and although she refined her design knowledge through studies at FIT and NYU, Nicole’s sophisticated sensibility and passion for design was cultivated at an early age under the influence of her interior designer mother.

Prior to pursuing design as a full-time career, Nicole spent more than a decade working in the fashion industry where she managed high-profile publicity and events including product launches, luncheons, dinners, world-class fashion shows, top-rated television specials, high-fashion editorials and red carpet parties attended by A-list Hollywood celebrities and some of the world’s most recognizable supermodels.
