We recently connected with Nicole Perrault and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Nicole thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
HOD believes that every design project benefits from a strong collaboration between clients and designers. In designing residential, commercial, custom builds, production homes or staging, HOD’s goal is to create beautiful aesthetics while ensuring optimum functionality for the space, while always maintaining the client’s vision as our guide.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I have always been a creative person. While in High School I had the opportunity to work in a home design retail shop and loved the chance to be around interior designers and clients. I attended interior design school as I continued working in the industry. I was fortunate to work alongside successful and talented designers and I learned so much from this exposure. It was through my education and working in the industry that I became excited to start my own design firm. In my free time I enjoy traveling, grabbing lunch with friends, and spending time with my family.
HOD provides comprehensive interior design services including home staging, residential, commercial, custom builds, production homes, fitness studios, and restaurants. Our firm also specializes in custom branding to ensure the client’s image represents their vision and offers the most impact to their target markets.
Through the design process there are typically many challenges that arise. These challenges can be attributed to problematic floor plans, working with cities and counties relative to permitting, working closely with tradesmen to ensure quality and timelines are maintained as we advocate for the client. Unlike some design firms, we have several designers assigned to work on each project. This collaboration of design perspectives is to the benefit of the client and creates a team-centric atmosphere within the company. Our branding and luxury staging are examples of additional services that might not be found with other firms.
I am very proud of my team. They are creative and hardworking. They maintain explementary relations with our clients and vendors and they are the reason for the company’s success. We are transparent and trustworthy. HOD has a diverse clientele and does not stick to one design style. Our projects vary from traditional to modern, depending on the client. Our goal is to take the clients vision and bring it to fruition, whether this is someone’s personal home or bringing a business brand to life. As a company our primary objective is to exceed our clients expectations.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
My primary goal and mission is to create beautiful and functional spaces. I’m motivated by innovative and unique designs created to embrace the client’s lifestyle and viewpoint. I enjoy my industry and value the business relationships that I have developed along the way.
Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?
The growth of HOD is attributed to personal referrals, solid design, and broad reaching social media, while maintaining excellent relations with vendors, contractors and architects.
