Hi, I’m Nicole.
Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about me. If you’re here, I imagine you’re not just thinking about a project—you’re thinking about how you want to live in your home, and who you want beside you as you make that vision real.
My path into design and construction was anything but linear. I have always lived at the intersection of grace and grit. When founding this business, I started in the field—as a carpenter’s apprentice—learning firsthand how homes are built, how details come together, and how much craftsmanship and discipline it takes to do things well. In 2001, as I launched by corporate career, I completed my first purchase, renovation and re-sell of a small condo. During that first transaction (which would become the first of many) my respect for real estate, financing, working with tradesmen and designing was born.
Before founding NGage Properties Group, I earned my MBA in Finance and Marketing. I spent decades as a senior executive in corporate banking, working as a public servant in the Federal Government, leading complex initiatives in Non-Profit global organizations as well as time on the stage as a classically trained artist in the U.S., Italy and beyond.
At a certain point, it became clear to me that I wanted to bring all of those worlds together—construction, design, business, and human experience—into something that felt both elevated and deeply personal. In 2013, I founded NGage Properties Group with a simple but powerful intention: to deliver design-build services in the way I would want to be treated. That belief is why I personally designed our services as a white-glove, signature concierge experience. See our brand film here. Your comfort, your trust, and your vision matter deeply to me.
Now as a licensed General Contractor in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia, as well as a Certified Interior Designer, I oversee a team of more than 85 artisans, architects, engineers, interior designers and project managers. There are days when I am in a suit, a dress or a hard hat and
steel-toed boots. In either environment, my goal is to deeply listen and accurately deliver your dream living or office space. Know that I am an avid traveler, I am a foodie, I enjoy a good cup of coffee, am passionate about opera and love NFL football. So when we meet, I want to hear all about you so that we design and build a truly custom living or office space that can truly be found nowhere else.
With grit and grace,
Nicole
