Inspired By:

What inspires me in my daily work is the opportunity to design for clients and bring their visions to life. There is nothing more rewarding than walking a client through their new space for the first time and seeing how happy they are with the result. I am grateful to know the work I do has a positive impact on others.

Keys to a Successful Project:
Communication, collaboration and accountability.

Interests Outside of Work:

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I have two young children that bring so much joy and happiness to my life. I am a very active person – whether it’s long bike rides with my husband and kids or starting the day with a 5 a.m. boxing class at the gym. I enjoy spending time outdoors and trying new local restaurants and breweries.

“Mallory has been an outstanding member of the NELSON team for almost her entire career. She is smart, passionate and extremely detail oriented. As a technical designer, she is a teammate everyone else knows they can rely on to thoughtfully consider all options and come to the table with solutions. On top of being amazing at her job, she is a kind and caring mother, daughter, wife and teammate. We are lucky to know her and be able to call her a friend. She’s someone we can laugh with, confide in and who we thoroughly enjoy putting puzzles together with. She’s the glue that keeps our team together. Clients trust her, contractors respect her, and our team couldn’t do it without her.”

Favorite Haworth Collection Piece:

Cabana Lounge

What Is Special About It:

I love the versatility of the Cabana Lounge. There are so many different ways this piece can function, as a private space to get away or as an informal meeting space to collaborate with coworkers.
