Nicole Lashae Ben has always had a passion for interior design and design strategy. After earning her BFA in Interior Design from Syracuse University and MA in Design Management from Savannah College of Art and Design, Nicole went on to work in sales for a handful of international interior product companies including Lamin-Art, USAI Lighting, and Koroseal. She started Thrive In Design to help interior product companies take deep dive into their customer's journey and reimagine an experience that doesn't solely depend on in-person interactions.
