Studio

Nomi means chisel. のみ

A creative interior design studio working across hospitality, commercial, boutique residential and short-stay spaces.

Nathan

Creative director, co-founder

Nathan leads the creative direction on every project Nomi takes on. What matters to him is what a space becomes once it’s finished — the feeling it creates, and the people it brings together. Years of his own experience in property investment sit behind that, so commercial thinking is never far away when a decision calls for it.

Faye

Operations manager

Little escapes Faye’s notice. She runs the day-to-day for every team, catching the small things early enough that the bigger decisions never have to deal with them.

Nicola

Project manager

Ask Nicola what a project needs and she’ll tell you: attention. She manages with a steady hand and a sharp eye for the small things — the difference between good and right.

Sofia

Head designer

As head designer, Sofia sits at the centre of the design direction for every Nomi project. She won’t decide what a building should become until she’s understood it properly.

A building leads. Before a client says what they want, the space has already told us something — what it can hold, where it wants light, which walls were always going to matter more than the others. We start there, listening before we decide anything.

And close behind what the building tells us comes the reason we were called in at all. What someone actually needs this space to do for them. The two aren’t in competition — they arrive together, almost as one thing, because the right answer to what a building already is turns out to be, again and again, exactly what the person standing in it was hoping for. That isn’t coincidence. It’s what happens when you read a space properly before you touch it.

So the decision that follows — when to go with what the building is telling us, when to go against it — is never made from the building alone, and never from the brief alone either. It’s made where the two meet, close enough together that neither one leads for long.

What that makes isn’t just a room. It’s a place people gather in without needing a reason. A feeling that arrives before anyone can explain it. And, because both of those are real, a space that works — for the people in it, and for what it was built to achieve.

Nomi listens to the building first, because the reason we’re there is never far behind it.

Ria

Operations director, co-founder

Every project has an objective, and it’s Ria’s job to protect it. She keeps the process steady for every client, so nothing gets delayed and nothing gets dropped along the way. Her own years in property investment sit behind that too, with an eye always on the long-term growth a project is really building toward.

Paige

Project manager

Paige manages the practical side of a project, but her real interest is the creative one — the signature moments that make a space memorable to the person living in it.

Jaime

Growth manager

Growth is Jaime’s focus, and it starts with the relationship — he works alongside commercial businesses, sat on their side of the table, on what good design can do for them once it’s built.
