Nicole Baxter
Home is more than a place — it’s a reflection of how we live, how we heal, and how we see ourselves. Whether it’s through design, coaching, or real estate, my work is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a space that feels safe, meaningful, and uniquely theirs. No two people need the same kind of home — but everyone needs one that supports who they are.
Interior Design
Whether you're furnishing a single room or building a home from the ground up, I offer full-scope design services tailored to your lifestyle, architecture, and emotional needs. From sourcing furnishings and materials to guiding renovations and new construction, I help clients make thoughtful decisions that bring clarity, beauty, and cohesion to their space. My process balances function with feeling — so every detail supports how you want to live.
Construction Doula
Building or renovating a home is one of the most emotionally charged experiences a person can undertake. It disrupts routines, stretches budgets, and can bring up unexpected stress, conflict, and self-doubt. Most people aren’t prepared for how personal and overwhelming the process can feel. As your coach, I help you navigate the emotional side of the project: managing communication, staying grounded through uncertainty, and making decisions with clarity instead of reactivity. I serve as a steady guide between you and your team, helping you stay connected to your vision while supporting the relationships that make your home possible.
Trauma Informed Design (coming soon)
Trauma-informed design isn’t just about how a space looks — it’s about how it feels to live in. For individuals who’ve experienced trauma, everyday environments can carry unseen stressors that make it hard to relax, focus, or feel at home. Whether through design or construction coaching, I help clients gently uncover what they truly need from a space — even if they can’t yet put it into words. Together, we identify emotional triggers, sensory needs, and patterns of avoidance or overwhelm, and translate those insights into practical, supportive design choices. My process honors each person’s unique history and nervous system, creating environments that foster safety, clarity, and ease — not just in the final result, but in how we get there.
Real Estate + Design
As a licensed buyer’s agent and interior designer in design, I help you envision what’s possible. Whether you're looking for a home that needs thoughtful renovation, or you're planning to build a custom home, I bring an experienced eye to every showing and every decision. I guide clients through the entire process, from identifying the right property to connecting you with trusted architects and builders, to making it your own with the perfect furnishings and finishes. You're not just buying a house, your creating a home.
