Nikki Levy is one of the most sought-after interior designers in South Florida, known for luxury residential design that is as livable as it is beautiful. She is the founder of Nikki Levy Interiors and the lifestyle brand MADE.nikki levy, and her work reflects a deep understanding of how design can tell a story—your story.

Born in South Africa, Nikki’s passion for interiors began young—rearranging furniture, reimagining spaces, and even spray-painting her mother’s less-than-stylish garden succulents. The bold, layered, and culturally rich interiorscapes of her childhood still influence her work today.

After moving to Florida with her husband and three children, Nikki built her firm around a core belief: every client is unique, and their home should be too. Her South Florida design studio focuses on luxury residential interiors across Florida, crafting homes that are both elegant and tailored to real life.

Known for her intuitive approach and what she calls “Creative Connections,” Nikki masterfully blends contrasting textures, silhouettes, and materials into unexpected, fresh, and original interiors. She does not follow trends or one aesthetic style—her true specialty is in listening deeply, observing carefully, and designing homes that feel like you.

Design, to Nikki, isn’t about individual pretty pieces. It’s about weaving a client’s lifetale into a cohesive, meaningful, and lasting space.

Alyssa’s background in construction from a young age likely provided her with a solid foundation for understanding the practical aspects of design, while her early exposure to the field through her familial background and high school internships.

Working alongside Nikki while attending design school demonstrates Alyssa’s dedication and multitasking abilities. Graduating from design school equipped her with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in her 7+ year long career at Studio NLI.

Alyssa’s focus on creating personalized spaces for her clients, coupled with her proficiency in 3D renderings, allows her to effectively translate their visions into reality. By collaborating closely with her clients, she ensures that their dream homes reflect their unique personalities and preferences. Her belief in the distinction between a house and a home underscores her understanding that a well-designed space should evoke a sense of belonging and comfort. By paying attention to her clients’ personal style and preferences, she can tailor her designs to create spaces that feel truly personalized.

The emphasis on personalization, functionality, and creativity in Alyssa’s approach to design reflects her commitment to creating spaces that not only look beautiful but also meet the practical needs of her clients. By incorporating these key elements into her design process, Alyssa ensures that each project she undertakes results in a home that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional for its inhabitants.

That desire quickly progressed throughout high school. She was eager to use her hands, learned a trade, and developed relationships with her clients as a Professional Cosmetologist. This path supported her while pursuing a Bachelors Degree in Professional Communications and an Interior Design Certification at Metropolitan Institute of Design.

During her college journey, she became heavily involved in several renovations going on in her childhood home. That experience ignited her desire to create spaces for herself and others that made them feel a personalized, practical, and functional oasis. Making the transition from Cosmetologist to Interior Designer helped groom her people skills. This tailored a beautiful blend between professional opinion and clients wants and needs to create a rewarding outcome for both parties.
