About NM Interiors Group:

Our boutique commercial interiors studio, located in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, was founded in 2003. Our approach is both collaborative and creative. Without exaggeration, we can state that NM Interiors solutions typically far exceed client expectations.

We enjoy working closely with owners, end users and associated industry professionals to achieve maximum functional efficiency. Indeed, we believe such collaboration is crucial to the success of any project.

NM Interiors is committed to creating spaces that are thoughtfully designed. LEED and other sustainability standards are integrated into the design process as we develop spaces that are sensitive to our environment.

Our experience is multi-faceted and extensive, including LEED Certified projects throughout the United States. Our most recent projects include retail spaces, corporate offices, medical offices, hospitality and federal and municipal facilities.

Our grateful and often delighted clients' respect and referrals are the greatest reward any designer could ask for. Nonetheless, we can report that our ASID peers have given our projects multiple awards for design excellence.

Our principal, Norma Escandón Michaels, is involved in every step of each project. Her commitment to quality is profound and unsurpassed.
