Our story

Nurture& was born from a simple need: nursery furniture that’s as comfortable and beautiful as it is functional. As parents, we couldn’t find pieces that matched our aesthetic without sacrificing quality—so we created them, blending comfort, style, and thoughtful design for every precious moment.

When I found out I was pregnant with my first baby, Olivia, my nesting instinct kicked in pretty early—

I started mentally designing her nursery mere hours after finding out I was pregnant (makes sense since my first company, Havenly, specialized in online interior design). I knew I wanted to find pieces that were high-quality yet gorgeous, but also with a focus on functionality - I couldn’t waste any space or money on something that just “looked good”.

“When my wife Kristina and I adopted our son Mekhi, we were filled with joy—


and quickly reminded of the same frustration we faced when our first son, Bodhi, was born. The nursery space still hadn’t caught up to what modern families need. Kristina was so instrumental in developing this chair—her vision, her insights, everything. That’s what led us to start Nurture&—to create furniture that feels intentional—pieces that offer real comfort and fit seamlessly into the home.”
