At Helms Design District, design is more than aesthetics, it’s how we shape the spaces we live in, how form meets function, and how personal style comes to life in every detail. This chapter of Sidewalk Stories celebrates the creativity, craftsmanship, and bold ideas that turn houses into homes and everyday rooms into something extraordinary.
Longtime Helms tenant and illustrator Nancy Nimoy helps bring these moments to life through her art, capturing the texture, rhythm, and personality of the district. With each illustration, she tells a deeper story, not just of products and spaces, but of the people and passion behind them.
