We are a small team

And we actually prefer it that way. Studio Miel offers a highly personalized, boutique design experience. We bring all of the professionalism and services of a larger firm together with a deeply felt connection to our projects and our clients.

The truth is that the more we get to know our clients, the better we are at doing our jobs —

so we get real

  • Principal and Lead Designer

    Nancy loves her work — truly and genuinely. She spends countless unbillable hours thinking about her clients’ rooms because she just can’t help herself. A native of New Orleans, she thinks hosting parties and long dinners is one of the best things in the world and she always considers how a space entertains when designing it. She also loves gardens and warm weather. She lives in Washington, DC with her two sons who constantly push “performance” fabrics to their limit and make excellent guinea pigs for testing out kid-friendly furniture.

  • Associate Designer and Project Manager

    A double threat, Nicole is at once both a creative talent and a right-brained manager of all things. Incredibly organized, you can often find her wading through the gritty details of a project. She also has a real knack for finding anything (anything) on the internet. In addition to making killer, and often unsolicited, to-do lists for everyone on the team, she loves vintage furniture and beautiful wool rugs. She lives in New England with her husband and two dogs, whom she treats like children.

  • Purchasing / Project Coordinator

    Kailey is a perfectionist, but the lovable kind. With a sweet disposition, she brings an unsettling passion for systems organization to the team. Like the rest of us, she now rearranges her rooms far too often to be healthy. When not stalking vendors for updates or whipping up a spreadsheet, she loves to go on hikes and attend music festivals. She lives in Buffalo, NY (for now). She and her husband are expecting their first baby in the Spring.

We know that no one accomplishes anything on their own. In addition to our core team, we also rely on a great group of individuals and creatives who help us on a part-time or contract basis to create, produce, and execute.

No big egos here
