Recent Press:

Kati Curtis and her team at Nirmada have made the entire process of designing/decorating my new home effortless and enjoyable for several reasons: Kati really listens to what the client's goals and tastes are and considers that throughout the entire process (she very accurately perceived what my tastes were and presented numerous ideas/options); she offers her ideas as well as remains open to any changes the client may want; she is completely upfront as to cost and timing; always aware of the client's budget, and she and her team are completely accountable in terms of sticking to deadlines and responding to questions/concerns immediately. Kati has also been an outstanding project manager by coordinating/monitoring the work of other vendors as well as holding them to standards/deadlines.  It's been a pleasure to work with Kati and her team and also a relief to be able to trust that the home we spent so much time/effort finding will be a beautiful place we will love coming home to!
