I'm Nicole,
I'm the founder of Preston Projects Studio. With over a decade working in London’s top design and build firms, I’ve now taken the leap to create something of my own — a studio where creativity, detail, and human connection come first.
From my earliest days watching my dad build our family homes, to over 10 years designing with London’s top studios, my journey has been rooted in creating spaces that truly matter.
My Story
My love for design started at home. As a child, I watched my dad build our family houses, my brothers joining in on the trades, and I was always eager to contribute however I could. That’s where I discovered interior architecture — the perfect blend of creativity and structure — and I’ve never looked back.
For more than 10 years, I honed my skills with leading design and build firms across London, working on everything from high-end residential homes to large-scale commercial projects. Those years gave me the foundation, confidence, and expertise to finally launch the studio I’ve dreamed of since childhood.
My Philosophy
For me, design is about more than beautiful spaces — it’s about how people feel when they step inside them. My approach is immersive and collaborative: I listen deeply, create visuals that bring ideas to life, and manage every detail to ensure the final result doesn’t just meet expectations but transforms the way a space is experienced.
Studio Values
Personal yet Professional
Preston Studio is built on a foundation of personal passion and professional expertise. Design has been part of my identity since childhood, and after more than a decade working with leading London design and build firms, I bring the same care, creativity, and rigour to every project — whether it’s a family home or a commercial space.
Creative & Practical
Beautiful spaces are only successful if they truly work for the people using them. My approach balances style with substance — ensuring every design is not only visually striking but also functional, achievable, and mindful of budget. From concept to completion, creativity is always grounded in practicality.
 Detail Driven
I believe the details tell the story. From securing planning permission and managing extensions, to choosing finishes and final styling, I oversee every element with precision. This ensures your space feels cohesive, complete, and uniquely yours.
At Preston Studio, every project is approached with the same blend of passion, professionalism, and precision. My journey — rooted in a lifelong love of design and shaped by over a decade of experience — has taught me that great interiors are about more than aesthetics. They’re about creating spaces that inspire, support, and endure. Whether guiding a client through a planning application, reimagining a commercial space, or styling the final details of a home, my goal is always the same: to deliver thoughtful, timeless design that reflects the people and businesses it serves.
