Meet the Designer

Design expertise grounded in construction.

NIS Interiors is a Dana Point–based interior design studio founded by Principal Designer Nadiely Schiavinatto, specializing in thoughtfully designed residential and commercial interiors throughout Southern California.

Originally from Brazil, Nadiely brings an international perspective shaped by a diverse cultural background, experience across different styles and environments, and a strong understanding of how spaces need to function in everyday life.

With a background in Civil Engineering, Interior Design, and more than 15 years of experience in the construction industry, she combines creativity, technical knowledge, and practical problem-solving throughout the design process.

NIS Interiors’ motto is that great design should do more than look beautiful. It should support the way people live, work, and move through a space while still feeling personal, intentional, and memorable.

From space planning and custom millwork to finishes, lighting, furnishings, technology integration, and construction coordination, every project is considered a complete environment. For commercial spaces, this also means thoughtfully addressing workflow, brand identity, employee and customer experience, and long-term functionality.

Founder & Principal Designer

Brazilian roots, California home, and inspiration from pretty much everywhere in between.

Good design, good coffee, and good music make the perfect formula.

And yes, I’ll probably notice if something is off by an inch.

Our Process

See how it works.

Clear communication and transparency are essential elements for ensuring the success of any project. To facilitate this, we’ve structured our design process into four distinct stages.

  • MEET & AGREE
  • IDEA & CONCEPT
  • DESIGN & CREATE
  • BUILD & INSTALL

The Meet-and-Agree is a FREE 45-minute online meeting with the following objectives:

  • Introduction
  • Project overview discussion to define the scope of work
  • Showcase a project example (with deliverables)

Pre-requirements:

  • Answer questionnaire

Outcome:

  • Clarifying questions and understanding if we are a good fit for each other
  • Help to decide to move forward
  • Clients will receive a design proposal after the meeting

At NIS Interiors, we build strong client relationships through an initial meet-and-agree. This meeting allows us to understand your vision, goals, and preferences for your space. We value open communication and active listening, ensuring we accurately capture your needs.

You can share your inspirations, ideas, or concerns, helping us tailor our approach. Our goal is to establish a foundation of trust and collaboration, transforming your space into a reflection of your personality and lifestyle.

The Idea & Concept meeting is done in person with the following objectives:

  • Confirm the project scope
  • Present at least 2 layout options for each room
  • Present mood boards for inspirational visualization of the space
  • Present some finishes and samples (when applicable)

Pre-requirements:

  • Retainer fee payment according to the type and size of the project (no refund)
  • The team has to get measurements in person of the space(s)
  • The meeting is scheduled at least two weeks after the measurements are taken

Outcome:

  • Define a preferable layout with preliminary drawings

At NIS Interiors, creativity flourishes in the idea and concept process. We immerse ourselves in your vision, gathering inspiration from architectural elements, art, nature, and your personal style. Through brainstorming and discussions, we shape these ideas into cohesive concepts that reflect your aesthetic and functionality.

Our team crafts mood boards, sketches, and renderings to articulate these concepts, balancing innovative solutions with timeless design principles. We ensure transparent communication and flexibility, inviting you to actively participate in shaping your project’s direction. Together, we transform abstract ideas into tangible blueprints, bringing your dream space to life.

The Design & Create phase has the following objectives:

  • Create a complete bid set for contractors to bid on the job (when applicable)
  • Get all quotes that comprehend our scope of work for approval (purchasing and procurement)
  • Construction feasibility assessment

Pre-requirements:

  • Fee payment according to the type and size of the project
  • Punctual meetings to present how the design is being developed
  • Quantity of revisions is going to be determined in the agreement
  • The phase timeline varies according to the complexity and size of the project, but expect at least three weeks to get the bid set done
  • Quotes must be paid 100% before we place them with vendors, except contractors which are the clients’ responsibility (we can only refer them)

Outcome:

  • Define all projects such as design, materials, finishes, lighting, furnishing (including custom pieces), paint colors, and etc.
  • Create a specifications notebook for the general contractor (when applicable)
  • Get all orders in place

At NIS Interiors, we develop comprehensive bid sets and construction packs, ensuring clarity and accuracy throughout the project. Our team prepares detailed technical drawings and finish schedules, covering every aspect from floor plans to FF&E specifications.

We prioritize quality craftsmanship, selecting premium finishes and materials that match your vision and budget. Collaboration is key as we work closely with contractors and craftsmen to ensure seamless execution and exceptional results. From conceptualization to completion, we’re dedicated to transforming your space into a masterpiece that exceeds your expectations in both form and function.

The Build & Install phase has the following objectives:

  • Manage deliveries and work with a receiver when applicable
  • Periodic site visits to ensure design execution is going as planned.
  • Address any project discrepancy or necessary adjustments

Pre-requirements:

  • Clients’ approval

We work closely with skilled craftsmen and artisans to ensure every element is installed with precision and care. Throughout the build process, we prioritize open communication, keeping you informed every step of the way. From custom cabinetry to bespoke furnishings, we deliver exceptional quality, transforming your space into a haven of beauty and functionality. Our goal is to make the process stress-free and enjoyable for our clients.
