Aleta Fouks is the visionary, and entrepreneur behind Nest Collective, Portland's boutique trade only interior design showroom.
I’m Aleta Fouks, owner of Nest Collective.
I purchased Nest in November 2022 with the goal of preserving a valuable resource for the interior design community, reestablishing it as a trade-only showroom.
At Nest Collective, I combine my love for interior design with a collaborative, client-focused approach rooted in integrity. We prioritize exceptional customer service for every designer and every project—because we know how many moving pieces go into bringing a vision to life.
From sourcing and ordering to tracking each detail from start to finish, we handle the logistics so you can stay focused on the creative. Our goal is simple: save you time, reduce complexity, and support you in delivering thoughtful, well-executed spaces.
I understand the intricacies of transforming a vision into a tangible, soulful environment. Through the showroom, I partner with designers to refine selections that reflect their clients’ unique identities—while prioritizing comfort, flow, and intention.
Are you leaving profit on the table? Nest Collective can help! We are your premier designer trade showroom, supporting your design from start to finish. Our Circle of Service provides all the advantages of sourcing and working with a Trade Showroom:
It takes 5 minutes to open a trade account on our Nest Collective website.
Source from our large vendor list; all things furnishings.
In most cases, designer net pricing is better than opening your own account.
We keep you up to date on product lead times and ESD.
We save you time and money by handling damages when they occur.
Design from the intention with which it is created and the intention with which it is designed.

Michael grew up in a creative household, his mother was a pianist and an accomplished seamstress, so Michael spent his childhood surrounded by music and textiles, his playground was the rows of fabric stores. He began designing as a teen, for neighbors and family, so it’s no surprise that.
As a deep believer in the power of community and giving back, Michael donates his time and resources to multiple local organizations and sits on the board of directors for both Portland Center Stage and Heritages School of Interior Design.
