A Design Agency + Consultancy

The Agency represents a selective group of international designers and artists, while The Consultancy acts as a strategic advisor to independent creatives and small-scale studios.

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, a practice dedicated to building meaningful connections and supporting intentional growth.

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.

What We Do…

  • Representing Designers + Artists

    We represent a small, thoughtfully selected group of international designers and artists, guiding their entry into the U.S. market and aligning their work with the trade community. We focus on partnering with studios whose ethos celebrates connection and intentionality bringing mindful designs to life that create memorable experiences for everyone who encounters them. 

    We work closely with interior designers, architects and collectors offering insight into each studio we represent and hands-on guidance across product details, pricing, samples, custom commissions, and order placement, serving as the primary point of contact throughout the process.

  • Creative Sales Strategy + Growth Planning

    We work with independent creatives and small-scale studios seeking to expand their businesses, offering strategic guidance across both internal structure and external presence.

    Sales + U.S. Market Expansion Strategy: We'll work together to create a unique strategy, whether you’re an international brand entering the U.S. market for the first time or an established U.S. designer looking to expand. We'll identify opportunities and guide you in building lasting relationships with your ideal clientele.

    Growth Planning: Together, we’ll review your past performance and set clear, achievable sales goals for the future.

    Internal Sales Systems + Operations: We'll help recommend systems that streamline workflows, improve efficiency and help enable your overall growth.

  • To Be Considered is also open to project-based partnerships and collaborations, such as serving as a trusted, on-the-ground presence for a pop-up or one-off event in a new market, or partnering with a new designer or brand on both collection development and go-to-market strategy.
