Early life and career
Gibbons was born in Detroit, Michigan, to William and Sondra Gibbons. She was raised in Southfield, MI, and attended nearby Mercy High School. Her mother worked as an interior designer, and her father impressed the value of an entrepreneurial spirit upon her from an early age. Although Gibbons did not originally intend to pursue a career in interior design, she credits her parents' influence as the foundation for her current success. Gibbons attended Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communication Studies in 2003. She initially pursued a career in public relations and served as the Director of PR and Events for a global fashion brand for a number of years.
Early design career
Although she never intended to pursue a career as a designer, Gibbons always maintained an interest in interior design. In January 2008, she launched her decorating and lifestyle blog, So Haute, as a creative outlet. So Haute serves as a "guide to stylish living" and shares design news, shopping resources, inspirational interiors, and decorating tips and ideas with its readers. In June 2008 Nicole established Nicole Gibbons Interiors, LLC, as a part-time design business focusing on small scale decorating projects in Manhattan.
Nicole Gibbons Studio
In early 2013, Gibbons re-launched her design firm as a full-time venture, renaming it Nicole Gibbons Studio. The firm has two branches: one specializes in full service design for residential and commercial clients, and the other focuses on Gibbons' branded partnerships and on-air work as a design expert in television and digital media.
Television appearances and other projects
In 2013, Gibbons joined the cast of the third season of Home Made Simple, a reality TV show hosted by the Oprah Winfrey Network, where she appears as a design expert. The show brings home improvement experts to help deserving families redecorate a space in their home by teaching them clever, do-it-yourself, cost-saving techniques. Gibbons is also an online contributor for Domino, a lifestyle magazine. She has been featured in multiple television, print and online publications, including HGTV, House Beautiful, TLC, InStyle, Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, The Nest, and Elle Décor. She has also collaborated on special projects with top home and lifestyle brands including Target, One Kings Lane, and Pier 1 Imports.
