Nolan has experience working with high-end residential firms in New York and California, specializing in residential design. He assists his teams in creating layered, lived-in spaces that feel calm, expressive, and deeply connected to the people who inhabit them.
With a global perspective shaped by growing around the world as the son of a diplomat, Nolan is especially attuned to the relationship between culture, lifestyle, and design. He values interiors that reflect the values and rhythms of everyday life, approaching each project with sensitivity and intention.
A lifelong passion for art and design led him to earn a BFA in Interior Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Outside of design, Nolan is also a musician and violist, a practice that informs his creative process through an appreciation for composition, balance, and emotional resonance.
