Nicole Lashae Ben
Nicole is the CEO and Founder of Thrive In Design, a consultancy dedicated to helping interior designers and product manufacturers embrace human-centered design principles with the aim of helping design-driven brands stand out, sell effectively, and scale strategically. A graduate of Syracuse University and the Savannah College of Art and Design, she founded Thrive In Design to help interior product companies boost brand awareness and revenue. I spoke to Nicole via Zoom in June 2025. In this episode, we discover how a college research project prepared Nicole to help design companies deal with the challenges of the pandemic.  The importance of working your networks and making authentic connections.  How an entrepreneurial approach and a business mindset shifts can help develop your business. The role her podcast has as a platform for collaboration and thought leadership. And why, if you want to develop your business, you need to A.C.E. the journey.
