Kimberly Phipps-Nichol

Hailing from a family of matriarchs, Kimberly is a neuro-spicy only child whose mother (on many occasions) had to caution others: “Don’t be offended by Kimberly, her brain just works differently.” Kimberly’s mom taught her to sew at the age of 5, unlocking the beautiful world of form and fabric at an early age. All the women in Kimberly’s family had an addiction to textiles and fiber arts, which they gladly shared. For over 30 years Kimberly has worked in architecture, planning and design while also making unique, wearable works of art. She is grateful to have her work featured by: Dallas Morning News, Bust Magazine (NYC), Reno Magazine, Clever Magazine, Paper City Houston, Houston CityBook, Houston Chronicle, Modern Luxury Houston and on Great Day Houston. Kimberly has guest lectured at Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC, Tulane University in New Orleans and at the University of Houston, Downtown. In 2023 she was named one of Houston's 50 Most Influential Women, and in 2025 recognized as a “Design Icon” by the International Interior Design Association.
