Our Ethos

We believe homes should feel as good as they look—beautifully layered, deeply personal, and built for real life. Our work is rooted in a love of history and architecture, balanced with the spirit of the desert we proudly call home. Every design tells a story, unique to the people who live it, yet always carrying our signature touch of texture, character, and warmth.

Nita & Hearth was founded on a deep appreciation for history and place. Jaydin’s design perspective is shaped by a lifelong love of architecture—old stone walls, weathered beams, and the enduring beauty of spaces that carry stories across generations. Growing up in Arizona, she found inspiration in the desert’s resilience and Phoenix’s unique blend of historic charm and modern growth. That grounding in heritage and sense of belonging continues to guide everything the studio creates.

The team doesn’t design for one style, because no two families live the same story. Instead, they approach each project as its own narrative—layering pattern and texture, balancing rustic depth with refined simplicity, and honoring the individuality of every client. You’ll always find their signature touch, but never a repeat.

Nita & Hearth’s work is rooted in creating homes that are both beautiful and livable: places that welcome muddy paws, barefoot mornings, and family gatherings. Their designs feel collected and timeless, as though they could have always belonged, yet unmistakably reflect the people who live in them.

At the core, it’s not about perfection or trends—it’s about crafting spaces that honor the past, embrace the present, and hold space for the life still to come.
