Meet Kelsey
Hello! I'm Kelsey, founder and primary designer at Kelsey Nicole Interiors. As a fourth-generation Montanan, I grew up among rivers and mountains, where the changing seasons instilled an early appreciation for nature's colors and textures.
My family moved often when I was a child, so "home" could be hard to define — but my mother had a remarkable gift for breathing love and light into any place we lived, no matter its size or how long we stayed. She taught me that home isn't a location; it's something you create. Years of my own moves across multiple states deepened that lesson: your home profoundly shapes your well-being and how you show up in the world. Tending to that space intentionally and authentically is simply second nature to me.
MY CREATIVE JOURNEY
My path to design began in Southern California, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Art History — studying in the museums and galleries of Los Angeles and building a foundation in both art appreciation and the business behind it.
From there, I headed to the Pacific Northwest, leading tours at the Tacoma Art Museum and managing production for an iconic Seattle event design company. During this chapter I founded Cobalt Collective, which today houses the independent brands and artisans I represent.
After a dreamy detour managing the tasting room at a biodynamic Sonoma County vineyard, my heart pulled me back to design. A chance meeting with artist Bonnie Saland led me to Philomela Textiles & Wallpaper, where I managed sales and marketing while touring design studios, showrooms, and trade markets across the country. I still rep a small handful of bespoke, women-run home goods brands throughout Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.
In 2018, I completed the Residential Interior Design program at the New York Institute of Art & Design and moved home to Montana to take on my own design clients. In 2025, I rebranded as Kelsey Nicole Interiors ~ a full expression of what I bring to the table, offered through a range of accessible services.
I'm drawn to natural materials and eclectic interiors — vintage finds, artisan pieces, Scandinavian lines, and bohemian charm — always shaped around each client's personality and lifestyle. When my clients light up, I light up!
When I'm not curating interiors, you'll find me trail-running, paddle boarding, snowboarding, thrift shopping, or reading my treasured library books.
