Noelle Micek
Principal Designer & Owner
Noelle Micek Interiors specializes in creating classic, tailored and fresh residential interiors in Carmel, Monterey, Pebble Beach and the greater Bay Area. We are passionate about helping our clients design new builds, update their homes with renovations and refresh their interiors with full service interior design.
Noelle founded her eponymous firm in 2009, after a successful career at Goldman Sachs. Her experience in finance sets her apart, as this foundation ensures that her client’s projects are organized, that deadlines and budgets are met, and that communication is open and clear. As a very detail oriented person, she and her team thrive on listening to the needs and wants of each client and delivering inspired and creative results.
Noelle has had the opportunity to work with high profile and celebrity clients across the country. She is known for fusing the disciplines of organization and design in her signature style of Refined Coastal. Noelle is respected for her work ethic, passion for design, and unique interiors. Her work has been featured in award wining publications such as Coastal Living Magazine, Carmel Magazine, 25 Beautiful Homes, New England Home, Parents Magazine and HGTV.com.
Noelle has lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years and is honored to give back to her community through serving on the board of the Monterey Symphony, and as a founding board member of the Nephrotic Syndrome Foundation. She currently lives in Carmel-By-The-Sea, California with her husband, John, daughter, Charlotte and son, Jack.

Lindsay Dunn
Senior Designer
Lindsay is a Chicago native whose passion for creativity and the arts began during childhood and naturally led her to a career in interior design. Although she relocated to the West Coast in 2013, the rich architecture and design of Chicago played a significant role in shaping her appreciation for thoughtful, timeless interiors.
She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design, with an emphasis in sustainable design, from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, graduating summa cum laude. With more than a decade of experience in high-end residential design, Lindsay brings a refined eye for detail and a deep understanding of creating spaces that are both beautiful and highly functional.
At Noelle Micek Interiors, Lindsay is passionate about designing homes that thoughtfully reflect each client’s lifestyle while enhancing everyday living. She is equally committed to sustainable design principles, creating environments that are beautiful, functional, and environmentally responsible.
Outside of the studio, Lindsay enjoys Pilates, yoga, hiking, traveling, discovering great wine, and music.

Stefanie McKay
Senior Designer
Stefanie received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture from California State University, Chico and has over 10 years of experience in high-end residential design. Throughout her career, she has worked with luxury residential architecture and interior design firms on the Monterey Peninsula and in San Francisco, leading projects throughout California and Montana. Her extensive experience managing projects from early conceptual development through final installation has made her a trusted and skilled leader in the field.
Known for her thoughtful, service-oriented approach, Stefanie is committed to both the client experience and the integrity of the design process. She believes functionality is the foundation of good design, and that beautiful spaces are most successful when they thoughtfully support the way people truly live. Her goal for every project is to create a space that reflects the occupants – timeless, layered, unexpected, and uniquely personal.
Based in sunny Carmel Valley with her partner, Todd, and their dog, Koda, Stefanie spends her time in the garden, hiking with Koda through Garland Park and exploring new/revisiting favorite restaurants and wine tasting rooms on the Peninsula.

Maddie Elkins
Junior Designer
Originally from Virginia, Maddie earned her Bachelor of Science in Interior Design from Virginia Tech in 2022. She brings a strong technical foundation shaped by her experience at a leading commercial architecture firm in Washington, D.C., where she developed expertise in technical documentation, 3D modeling, and contributed to projects for prominent institutions across the region. She has since made California her home and resides in Pacific Grove with her husband, Ash, as he attends the Naval Postgraduate School.
Maddie’s passion for interior design is rooted in her appreciation for how spaces shape everyday experiences. She is especially drawn to sustainable and universal design principles—an interest she explored in depth through her academic thesis. Known for her collaborative spirit and genuine enthusiasm, Maddie brings both skill and heart to the NMI team. Outside the studio, she finds inspiration exploring the Monterey Peninsula, baking new recipes, and creating with her embroidery machine.
