Meet Nicole Duttera
FOUNDER, PRINCIPAL DESIGNER
After climbing the ranks of several renowned San Francisco Bay-based firms, the transition to opening Hill & Highland was a natural one. Her experience creating interiors for numerous exclusive West Coast residences, managing large-scale projects, and translating dreams into one-of-a-kind spaces has allowed her to partner with clients since 2015 to design spaces that are equal parts refined and approachable.
Nicole's design style is best described as elevated interiors for everyday living—characterized by her ability to create intentional, refined spaces.
Relishing each new client relationship, Nicole always aims to gain a deep understanding of their personal preferences and needs. While every client is different, the end-goal is always the same: to make their home more beautiful, functional and serene.
When she isn’t designing, you will find her at her weekend home in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, grounding herself in nature and spending quality time with her family.
