My name is Coco, and I am the proud owner of Coco Design & Build Co., a company specializing in high-end kitchen and bathroom renovations. While my business allows me to create beautiful and functional spaces for clients, my heart and passion lie in an exciting community-focused project: Thee Old Fishbowl Gallery.
This gallery is more than just a new venture—it’s a way to honor history and invest in the future. Located in the iconic building where Thee Fish Bowl pet store operated for over 50 years, we are reimagining this beloved space into a hub for creativity, connection, and giving back.
The mission of Thee Old Fishbowl Gallery is simple but powerful: to support and showcase the incredible talent of local artists while strengthening our community. We plan to host gallery openings to celebrate their work, alongside organizing special free events that bring people together. Every step we take is grounded in giving back—100% of the profits from the gallery will go toward philanthropic efforts that directly benefit our local area.
We are proud to create a space that uplifts the arts, fosters community spirit, and makes a meaningful difference right here at home.
“If you don’t believe money buys happiness, you haven’t given enough away.”
Xoxo, Coco

### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Dynamic Colors Inc, Nov. 2023**

> Working with Coco on a basement remodel project and it’s been a fantastic experience! Great communication, professional, and thoughtful during the entire process. Always available to answer questions and adjust to accommodate as necessary. Work with Coco if you want someone that has your best interests in mind during what can be a stressful renovation process. Highly recommend!

**★★★★★ — Trevor Pachis, Nov. 2023**

> I would highly recommend working with Coco Design and Build.  Coco is dedicated to her projects, very talented, and an absolute joy to work with.

**★★★★★ — GOGO Design Group, Nov. 2023**

> Coco is truly a gem. As an interior designer, if I get a call for only a kitchen renovation in the Evanston area, Coco Design Build is my go to. She brings a lot of fun and the utmost professional care to her projects, while ensuring a smooth process from design through construction. I highly recommend her!

**★★★★★ — Luci Chrostowski, Nov. 2023**

> CoCo is truly creative.  She met with me several times to “dig deeply” into my vision for my bathroom and ways to accommodate my physical limitations without sacrificing beauty - and all within my budget.  She listens very carefully. I highly recommend CoCo.

**★★★★★ — Dan, Jan. 2021**

> I have worked with Coco for years now.  Nicole is very responsible and pays attention to the highest level of details.  Coco has an eye for design that will transform your space into one you truly enjoy.  With her depth of product knowledge as well as project management you will enjoy the process from start to finish!

**★★★★★ — annalambros11, Jan. 2021**

**Comment from Coco Design & Build Co.:**

> Thank you so much Raegen! I appreciate the time you took to write a review for me.

**★★★★★ — Debbie Dahl, Dec. 2019**

> Working with a designer was a new experience for me. I was nervous how it was going to go given my nature to want to control things, but knew I needed her experience. She provided great open dialog, was always receptive to my ideas and provided alternatives where she saw better opportunity resulting in the perfect kitchen for me; a balance between gorgeous design and practicality! I was equally impressed with the people she has doing the installation. Top notch!

**★★★★★ — HU-376140965, Sept. 2019**

> Coco has such a great design sense! She managed to create a modern and beautiful design for our tiny bathroom that maximized the space in unique ways while staying within our budget. I would work with Coco again in a heartbeat!

**★★★★★ — Tom Peterson, Sept. 2019**

> It wasn't always easy, and there were some communication issues early, but in the end it was a beautiful design and we couldn't be happier with the way our bathrooms turned out. Super high quality workmanship and Coco is a delight to work with.

**★★★★★ — HU-570722029, May 2019**

> We weren't sure what type of design we wanted and Nicole - "Coco" was very helpful in helping us with the vision of our kitchen. She had great suggestions and worked very well with the contractor. We couldn't be happier with the results.

**★★★★★ — Alex S., May 2019**

> My experience with Coco was entirely stress-free and I am so happy with my beautiful kitchen! The team's attention to detail greatly exceeded my expectations, and the finished product is something I am truly proud to show off to my friends and family.
