behind the blue

Kimberly Phipps-Nichol started Blue Water Studio in 2004 in Nevada with the desire to create relevant, delightful and responsible design solutions for workplaces, healing environments and public spaces.  The daughter of healthcare professionals, Kimberly learned early on that the built environment and industry have direct health impacts on people and the community.  This informed Kimberly’s life long passion for balancing people, planet and prosperity.  With 30 years of experience in commercial projects,  Kimberly is grateful to be in Houston and share her talents.
