Hi, I’m Natalia, creator of Story For Home! 

As the owner and lead storyteller, I'm more than just a designer. Ever since I was a kid, my story has always been driven by a love of interior design and home improvement projects. I loved working on all sorts of DIY remodeling projects with my father and I knew exactly what I wanted to do from an early age. After earning my Interior Design degree, I had an exciting career as Head of Visual Merchandising and Product Design for one of the largest lighting and home décor manufacturing retailers.  

Having worked in the industry for over two decades, I have had the unique experience of traveling abroad and working on factory floors with manufacturers; developing new product and learning about production, labor, finishes, and materials. Being a part of the “behind the scenes” in the home décor industry taught me the value of quality, functionality, craftsmanship, and details in everything we bring into our homes.  

Focusing on serving individuals and families who take pride in their homes, I want to share my passion for design, art, and culture. I understand that your home needs to feel like you, grow and evolve with you, and bring both comfort and practicality. I strive to give my clients a pleasant experience in remodeling and decorating, sharing the burden of managing complex projects and potentially unfamiliar decisions. I enjoy taking on challenging projects, working closely with contractors, and designing livable, beautiful, practical, and timeless spaces. 

When I'm not working with my Story For Home clients, I run the Kokhan family household. You will probably find me driving my kids around, trying to grow the perfect tomato, and, of course, walking our family dog. I enjoy long dinners with friends and family and cooking with my husband on the weekends, always with music! I love traveling and learning about other cultures, reading good books, and spending lazy Sundays with my family watching movies or laying by the pool.  

I look forward to meeting you and helping you create the story for your home!
