HEY THERE!
Hi, I’m Nico—Interior Designer, vintage enthusiast, and passionate advocate for the power of home.
Grounded in interior design and backed by neuroaesthetics, my work explores how the science of home can enhance our lives.
As a designer, vintage enthusiast, wife, and mom, I believe your home should feel as good as it looks—and serve you every day. Whether I’m reimagining a space or sourcing timeless pieces, I’m always asking: How does this space feel—and how can it work better for you?
At PARO, we believe a home should feel like a collection of stories. Built from research rooted in neuroaesthetics, our course ensures the spaces you inhabit support your life, making mindful design accessible for real homes and real lives. Through our podcast, we dive deeper into the science and stories behind creating meaningful homes, giving you the knowledge to make choices that resonate with your values, comfort, and creativity. Through the art and intention of creating space for individuality to find presence in our homes—and into our lives.
Create space.
Your story, your wellbeing, your home.

DIGITAL COURSE: Create Space
Come home.
At PARO, we believe in the power of walking through your door and feeling your shoulders drop, knowing that here, you can finally exhale. Be still. Be you.
We're moved by how interior spaces hold the quiet stories of our lives—how morning light through a window can lift our spirit, how a cozy nook becomes a place of peace, how a thoughtful kitchen transforms chaos into connection. These aren't just design choices—they're the foundation of how we feel each day.
This work is our impact—guiding people to build their confidence in curating a home that truly reflects who they are and the chapters they have lived. It's never just about beautiful rooms—it's about creating space where real life happens. Where we care for our families and ourselves, where we take time to reset after a long day, where we find those quiet moments to just be. When your home finally works with the rhythm of your life instead of against it, everything shifts. And for us, this is what it means to come home.
