Nicole Sheffield

LEED AP BD+C, NCIDQ, Fitwel Ambassador, IIDA
Principal, Workplace, Atlanta

Nicole’s passion for design manifested itself at an early age through her interest in art and her curiosity in exploring how different spaces can influence people.

Nicole began her career with Perkins&Will as an interior design intern, and after graduation, she joined Perkins&Will as a full-time employee based on her proven work ethic and establishing herself as a valuable team member. Throughout her career, Nicole has built an impressive portfolio consisting of diverse project experience encompassing multiple market sectors, but eventually found her calling with a focus on corporate workplace.

As the Director of Corporate Interiors for the Atlanta studio, Nicole brings her detail seeking eyes and deep breadth of knowledge to every project—treating each opportunity with a holistic approach. When working on complex spaces, her specialty lies in orchestrating the best team to create exceptional design solutions that enhance the corporate environment.

Nicole believes that forming trusting relationships with the client and extending that trust to all members of the project team, is what leads to a project’s success.  Her collaborative leadership style is to listen and engage in activities that clearly help define the goals of the project early in the design process.  One size does not fit all.  Crafting a unique work experience to provide each client with the optimum work environment to meet their specific needs is what inspires Nicole and the Corporate Interiors team daily.

Nicole lives in Cumming, Georgia with her family and enjoys spending her free time in the mountains, practicing portrait photography, and volunteering at church.
