Who We Are…
With over 15 years immersed in the luxury design industry shaping sales, operations, and business development across New York and California, Nikkie Stone founded To Be Considered as both an agency and consultancy dedicated to building meaningful connections and supporting intentional growth.
The Agency represents a selective group of international designers + artists, while The Consultancy acts as a strategic advisor to independent creatives and small-scale studios.
The goal is simple: to nurture collaboration, elevate individual voices, and strengthen the design community through aligned partnerships, shared knowledge, and long-term relationships.
Before the inception of To Be Considered, Nikkie spent nearly a decade at The Future Perfect, followed by several years consulting independently. Through this experience, she’s worked closely with leading designers, artists, and collectors, gaining a deep understanding on how the industry functions from multiple vantage points - and how exceptional design is positioned, presented and continually evolving at the highest level.

The Consultancy
Representing Designers + Artists
We partner with a small, thoughtfully selected group of international designers + artists, helping them navigate the U.S. market and align with the trade community. We focus on working with studios whose ethos celebrates connection and intentionality bringing mindful designs to life that create memorable experiences for everyone who encounters them.
