FROM CHANEL TO ARCHI-TECTURE


FROM CHANEL TO ARCHI-TECTURE


designer

NICOLE LARGILLIER is a designer with a multidisciplinary background in architecture, graphic design, luxury fashion, and branding. She built her first portfolio website in 2008 on Adobe and has since designed websites as a passion project for small businesses, working across platforms like Apple, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, ShowIt, and Framer.

Her design philosophy is rooted in her European experiences—working for Chanel outside Paris, studying under Hermès in Paris, and interning for Christian Louboutin in Milan—where she developed a deep respect for quality, craft, and precision. These roles instilled in her a refined eye and a commitment to mastering complexity through design.

Nicole’s professional work at Herscoe Hajjar Architects and her studies in architecture and interior design—at the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP program and L’École Spéciale d’Architecture in Paris—taught her to balance form and function with purpose and beauty. Running her own artisanal leather goods brand further shaped her understanding of small business pain points.

Now based in Naples, Florida, she brings a global lens to her web design practice, creating sites that blend strategic layout, thoughtful product placement, and storytelling to deliver both beauty and impact.

"avenue"

represents pathways of exploration—whether in design, creativity, or life itself. It signifies the meeting point of disciplines: architecture, fashion, interiors, and craftsmanship, blending into a harmonious expression of artistry.

"saint james"

pays homage to the timeless elegance of European heritage while drawing inspiration from the Compostelle de Saint-Jacques(hence the scallop shell), a historic pilgrimage that symbolizes transformation, purpose, and personal discovery. Just as pilgrims walk the Camino seeking meaning, our designs are a journey of crafting beauty that connects your past and present, individuality and tradition.

"avenue st. james"

is not just a name—it’s a story of thoughtful design, inspired by your story and rooted in a passion for timeless elegance. It invites you to embark on your own journey, celebrating the beauty found in every step along the way.
