Custom Nest is an Orange County-based interior design firm led by husband-and-wife team, Duc and Lisa Nguyen.
Get to know us inside the nest.
The catalyst for Custom Nest began in 2019 when Lisa was reading about a mountain community 2 hours from Los Angeles. She quickly googled the description and Lake Arrowhead came up on the search. That weekend, the family took a little road trip and purchased the second home they saw that day. What started as a family vacation home in 2019 quickly pivoted into a thriving business and lifelong passion realized.
Today, Custom Nest comprises a tight-knit team of tradesmen and subcontractors. We are passionately restoring homes, documenting our work on Instagram and having loads of fun!
Duc is a licensed General Contractor in the state of California. He also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Films from the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, California. Outside of Custom Nest, Duc runs a film production company called Avec Lumiere Productions.
Lisa completed her interior design studies at the Interior Design Institute. She also holds a Bachelor of Law and Master of Laws from the University of Sydney, Australia where she grew up. Prior to starting Custom Nest, Lisa founded a children's footwear company and patented a push-and-twist lock mechanism to allow for interchangeable accessories on shoes. Baubles and Soles appeared and landed a deal on Shark Tank in 2019 and was later acquired by a private equity company in 2021.
