Nancy Lupo
CEO & Creative Director
Design is my passion, and I take great pleasure in creating spaces that bring joy and comfort to my clients. Friends know me as THE FULL NANCY, a moniker that reflects my unwavering passion and commitment to excellence in life. My passion for design fills me with joy, and I have been known to make bold statements and exclamations in my enthusiasm for the craft.
As a speaker, I have had the pleasure of entertaining audiences, making them laugh, and inspiring them with stories and laughter. I believe that design should bring joy to people’s lives, and it is a privilege to combine these two passions.
As your designer, I will welcome you into my design family and tailor your spaces to the individual needs and preferences of your family. I have an innate sense for what is right when it comes to style, look, and pieces, and I am confident that I can create the perfect space for you.
My life’s work centers around my family, which includes my husband, three sons, and several pets. As an active member of my church community, I am passionate about travel and dreaming of faraway places. I am a lifelong resident of Long Island and New York, and I take great pride in my roots.
After spending many years as a stay-at-home mom, I returned to design nine years ago, and it has been a wonderful journey. Seeing my clients happy and in love with their new spaces brings me immense joy, and I am ready to bring my passion, boldness, and love to your project.

Lynn
Schieder
Project Manager
My name is Lynn. I have a wonderful husband and beautiful son, who is the center of our world. My family and I love all animals, but cats are our pet of choice and have been known to rescue a stray or two. I love cooking, baking, taking long walks, and spending time with all of the friends and family I love. Interior design has always been my passion and, in the past, working on my own homes and helping friends and family with theirs allowed me the chance to exercise that passion. I was a business manager for 20 years in the advertising industry before I had the great fortune to come work for Nancy, and with the amazing team at IDBN, as project manager. Now I have the best of both worlds, blending my business experience with my creative side which truly is a dream come true. I often say we were brought together through divine intervention. The IDBN team is truly my second family.
Ruby
Spoering
Jr. Designer/Assistant
Hi, I'm Ruby! I graduated from the Metropolitan Institute of Interior Design here on Long Island. I've always had an eye for design and I love the idea of helping people make their homes into a safe haven. I've worked at Ethan Allen and local showrooms on Long Island which has helped me see different sides of this industry. When I started working for Nancy it was the first time I was able to do hands-on design work for real clients, and going to job sites and trade showrooms. I love working here because we really design custom for every client we have. Everyone lives differently and has different wants/needs and that's the fun challenge of interior design, giving a client an elevated functional look, something that they didn't even know they wanted! Working with the team here at IDBN is a privilege, we are truly a family. In my free time, I love to go on outdoor adventures with my boyfriend and having wine nights with my friends!

I have been home with my kids for the past 20 years and recently entered back into the workforce. My experience as an office manager at a Long Island Not for Profit, has prepared me well for this new adventure at IDBN. I am excited to be able to use my gifts as a natural born organizer to help bring excellence to the administrative side of this design firm. I am grateful and excited for the opportunity to become a part of this amazing Interior Designing company/family.
Barbara McNally
Designer
Hi, my name is Barbara. Interior Design has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Put me in an environment surrounded by textiles and finishes and I am a very happy girl!
Just as no two people are alike, no two interiors are alike and that is what I love about my job. As a mature, passionate, seasoned designer I have the honor to create a space that best reflects our clients needs and wants. A well designed space is like a warm hug and isn’t that what we all deserve.
When I am not designing I enjoy spending time with my husband, two sons and our dog Maggie. Some of my other happy places are gardening, quilting, cooking, baking, photography and spending time outdoors. I am thrilled to be a part of such a talented team here at IDBN.
