Anna - Founder and Creative Director
Anna Fridirici is the Founder and Creative Director of Nickel & Oak Design. She leads the firm’s creative vision, guiding each project with a balance of architectural clarity, warmth, and livable functionality.
Known for interiors that feel both refined and relaxed, Anna approaches design as a collaborative process — shaping spaces around how clients truly live rather than following trends. Her work emphasizes thoughtful materials, layered texture, and carefully considered details, resulting in homes that feel cohesive, timeless, and quietly distinctive.
Anna oversees every project from initial concept through final installation, ensuring design decisions remain intentional and aligned from the first drawing to the last placement. Her structured approach brings clarity to complex renovations and custom builds, allowing clients to move through the process with confidence and ease.
At Nickel & Oak, the goal is not simply to create beautiful rooms, but to craft homes that support daily life — functional, welcoming, and enduring over time.
Emily - Project Manager
Emily serves as Project Manager at Nickel & Oak Design, overseeing the day-to-day coordination that guides each project from concept through installation. She manages schedules, procurement, vendor coordination, and client communication, ensuring every phase progresses smoothly and efficiently.
Working closely with the design team, Emily organizes internal workflows, supports sourcing, tracks orders, and maintains clear communication with clients and trade partners. Her detail-driven approach and steady oversight keep the creative process focused while every practical detail is handled with care — creating a seamless, well-managed experience from start to finish.
Megan - Designer
Megan brings a unique mix of technical expertise and creative vision to Nickel & Oak Design. With a degree in Architectural Engineering and five years of experience in construction as a project manager and design engineer, she has a deep understanding of how spaces are built, function, and come together.
Now focused on residential interior design, Megan creates spaces that balance beauty with practicality. Her background allows her to deliver thoughtful, cost-effective solutions that align with each client’s lifestyle and budget.
At Nickel & Oak, Megan works closely with Anna to bring each client’s vision to life through conceptual designs and realistic renderings that help clients clearly visualize layouts, materials, and finishes.
