Caitie Johnson

Staging Specialist and Interior Designer

We feel very fortunate that Caitie landed on our doorstep. She's incredibly talented and, by all appearances (and her own claims), she loves working here. Caitie exudes enthusiasm for everything we do. Whether she's pulling furniture and accessories, creating beautiful spaces in vacant homes, putting away cushions (on impossibly-full shelves), or inventing clever new ways to organize endless supplies of scarves, shower-curtain rings, tools and, dare we say it, junk--she's doing it all with zest and gusto!


We're lucky to have her not only because of her exuberance but also because of the education and work experience she brings to the table. In addition to a degree in foreign languages, Caitie has a degree in architectural studies and interior design. Prior to working with us, she worked at an interior design firm in Santa Fe, where she helped clients revamp their interior spaces. She enjoyed the work but is very excited about the rare opportunity afforded by staging for a living: day in and day out, her creative eyes sparkle when faced with a cold and empty house that she will transform into a warm, inviting, Su-Casa staged home.

NANCY BOTHNE

STAGING SPECIALIST & MODEL HOME EXPERT

Nancy is well acquainted with the challenges inherent to remodeling and decorating different spaces. After years’ worth of owning investment properties in New England and California, she has single-handedly designed a gamut of interior spaces—from Boston brownstones short on square footage to California condos desperate for ritzy décor. While working in the real estate industry in the 1980s, Nancy opened her own retail fashion boutique on Boston’s prestigious Newbury Street. There she gained recognition in publications such as The Boston Globe, Newsweek, USA Today and The Wall Street Journal.

The early 1990s brought Nancy to Los Angeles where she continued to work in real estate while pursuing her love of home renovation. She received her certification from the Interior Decorators Institute of Los Angeles in 2004.

Nancy now lives in Santa Fe (score!) and works with us, offering her expertise first and foremost to our model home clientele. For more examples of Nancy's work, click here. You will find more examples of her work on her own website at Nancy Bothne Designs.

Nichole Hill

Stager and Interior Designer

My name is Nichole. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. Besides interior design, I also love running, yoga, baking, and really anything creative!


While I had always been creative growing up, I also found an interest in business. I graduated with my Bachelor’s and Master's in accounting from The University of New Mexico. After becoming a CPA and working in accounting, I quickly realized just how much I needed to be creative in my career. I decided it was time to pursue my passion of interior design. I was fortunate enough to join the Su Casa team and enrolled in a course with The Interior Design Institute, beginning my journey in design. 

 

I recently got the opportunity to intern with Magnolia on their design team as an interior styling and staging intern and have received my Diploma of Interior Design from The Interior Design Institute. I’m so excited to return home and to Su Casa, feeling inspired and ready to use the skills and knowledge I have gained through these experiences. I love being a part of the Su Casa team and can't wait to continue creating beautiful spaces!
