NICOLE MCKENZIE

Director

Nicole was once a client of Trinity. She saw something special in the studio when she purchased it in 2006, using her expertise as a CEO for an IT company to steer it to where it is today. With an esteemed career in sales and marketing, she is passionate about providing exceptional client experience and delivering quality service.

Nicole’s vision was for a team of highly-skilled, personable designers to deliver on the design aspect while providing excellent backup and support. Both have been vital for the success of each project Trinity works on.

While overseeing projects to ensure both the design and financial expectations are met, Nicole also builds on relationships with architects, builders and a wide network of suppliers. All of these contribute to the successful outcome of Trinity’s projects.
