I founded NS Design in 2003 out of a passion for creating beautiful spaces, and that passion grew into a career spanning more than two decades. Since then, I’ve managed design standards, selections, and furnishings for more than 90 model home installations across eight states, guided homebuyers through the selection process for more than 50 new homes, directed residential renovations and construction, and helped homeowners and real estate professionals prepare properties for market.
My residential design experience includes projects in New York, Chicago, and Park City.
Today, I’m based in Greater Los Angeles and welcome projects throughout the United States and internationally. I work with homeowners, builders, contractors, and real estate professionals, combining creative vision with practical experience to create beautiful, sophisticated spaces while making the design process organized, collaborative, and enjoyable.
Natalie’s career has taken her from private clients to model homes to the builder’s side of the table, which is why she can work comfortably with everyone on a project.

Providing residential design services for homeowners, builders, developers, contractors, and real estate professionals, with expertise in new construction, renovations, interior furnishings, and property presentation.
I built NS Design from the ground up as a single mom. I took on the jobs, the deadlines and the risk myself, and I made it work.
Through all of it, my daughters, Halle and Olivia, were right beside me. They worked alongside me growing up, cheered the loudest at every milestone, and never once doubted what we were building.
This photo from last month is one of my favorites. To me, it captures exactly who we are: three sets of hands on one moment, making sure every fold, every fastening and every detail is just right. Nothing beautiful comes together alone. It takes a team, and I’ve had the best one all along.
Whether it’s a construction deadline, model home opening, or unexpected project challenge, I stay focused, find solutions, and keep things moving.
Beautiful design isn’t always about spending more. It’s about making smart decisions, knowing where to invest, and creating the greatest impact.
From architectural finishes and material selections to furnishings and final styling, I believe it’s the details that bring a space together.
My constant companion and unofficial design consultant. If you see a happy dog riding along to a walk-through, that’s George.
