An Evening With A Noble Man

Besides his dapper appearance and sophisticated demeanor, Steve Nobel, founder and principle of NOBELINKS, displays all the relevant characteristics of a noble gentleman. This past Tuesday, I had the pleasure of spending an entire day with Steve that I will never forget.

Steve Nobel is known in the luxury interior design and designer home furnishings industry as the preeminent source of business consulting models. His knowledge of the inter-workings of the interior design trade is without question unparalleled. He exudes an approachably confident understanding of highly technical interior trade issues and when the opportunity presents itself, he visibly beams with pride to impart his valuable information. When Steve speaks, even the talkers stop to listen to his words of wisdom.

Personally, as a young entrepreneur, I appreciate and admire the fact that Steve challenges me as interior designer. He constructively plays the role of devil’s advocate and he causes me to think outside-of-the-box. Without a doubt, Steve’s input has molded me into a more effective businesswoman and enhanced my problem-solving skills on interior design issues.

For taking the time out of your busy schedule, for sharing your valuable thoughts with me, and most of all for believing in me, I thank you Steve. Words can’t express how much I appreciate you and how lucky I feel to have you as a friend and a mentor.

Luxury Interior Design - by Interior Designer Lina Quintero

Since this is my first blog, I thought it would make sense to formally introduce myself by providing some background information about my life as a luxury interior designer.

From an early age, I was constantly fascinated by the dynamic, sophisticated realm of luxury interior design. Through my passion for art and art history, I realized that my destiny was leading me toward a complete immersion in the fascinating realm of high-end design.

At age seventeen, I was fortunate to secure a position at the esteemed luxury residential interior design firm in Scottsdale, Arizona known as Elements of Design. Seven years later, I made my return to Elements of Design as the owner and lead interior designer. As of October 2011, I am starting taking my dream to the next level by creating Lina Design Studio. Now, I truly have the freedom to create interiors that work well for clients!

My motivation as a luxury interior designer is driven by two primary factors.

First and foremost, my residential, commercial, and hospitality clients are the most fascinating, well-rounded group of individuals imaginable. I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to nurture meaningful relationships with each and every client that I serve. More often than not, by the end of an interior design project, the relationships with my clients expand into the realm of friendship. The relationships that I develop as a result of the intimacy of the luxury interior design process are extraordinary and priceless.

Secondly, I am perpetually in awe of the exquisite nature of the products that I sift through on behalf of my clients. The range and quality of the furniture, fabric, accessories, wall coverings, etc… are simply mind-boggling. From time to time, in order to come back to reality, I have to pinch myself. It is all too often that I get lost in the artistic fantasyland of luxury interior design products.

I appreciate you taking the time to read my introductory luxury interior design blog. In the future, I will present design trend information, happenings in the industry as well as within Lina Design Studio, innovative product information, and much more…
