Nicole Ficano

Nicole Ficano’s sophisticated aesthetic and technical skills, honed over years at best-in-class firms on both coasts, make her an invaluable member of the Workshop/APD team and a strong leader for the interior design group. Taking care and time to deeply understand clients’ lives and needs, Nicole transforms detailed classic homes and blank spaces alike, creating beautifully layered, comfortable, high-end residences. Nicole’s engaging designs – giving equal weight to form and function – are as practical as they are compelling, thoughtfully integrating architecture with furnishings, lighting, fabric, and fittings in collaboration with a project’s architectural team. She credits this collaborative dynamic and an ongoing search for groundbreaking techniques and materials as essential components in creating exceptional interiors for homes of every kind. Nicole’s modern, fresh urban designs and elegant single-family residences express a fascination with the sweeping city views, rolling lawns, leafy woods, and sandy coastlines where her projects lie, bringing the outdoors into her projects in compelling new ways to delight the senses. A graduate of Cazenovia College in New York, Nicole holds a BA in fine arts with a focus in interior design.
