"It is a pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for Nicola Callaghan. Nicola worked for me at Westwind Manor, an assisted living home in Franklin, New Jersey, as an interior design consultant. Westwind Manor is a turn-of-the-century mansion that was built in 1908 for the president of the local mining company at that time. We wanted to maintain the authentic Victorian-style of the building as it is a unique and rare look into the early twentieth century.
Nicola had to stay within a certain budget and there were many requirements around functionality. We needed to be cognizant of all accessibility, including but not limited to wheelchairs and walkers. It was mandated to maximize safe space for our residents, and Nicola had the foresight and knowledge to make this happen. Nicola successfully collaborated with others to assist with the room designs, spanning from window treatments, to walls, and furniture. Much prep work was needed prior to any renovations being made, and Nicola teamed up with various contractors to ensure work coordination and quality craftsmanship while staying within budget.
This project was a large undertaking, which had a strict budget and time frame for completion. All project requirements were accomplished, and Westwind Manor has recaptured its glory thanks to Nicola. I strongly recommend Nicola. Her keen sense of design, willingness to work with others, and unbounded vision are only, but a few ingredients of a strong, talented professional."
