Why I Became an Interior Designer with Nicole Lashae Ben
Show Notes

When Nicole was in the 9th grade she decided that she wanted to study interior design in college, which would require her to submit a fine arts portfolio along with the college application. The only thing was that she was terrible at fine arts but she was determined to make her dream a reality. She enrolled in every art class, attended  a summer college program for high school students, and after much determination and practice, earned her BFA in Interior Design from Syracuse University. From there she earned an MA in Design Management from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She admits that the workforce hasn't been easy as she has hit many barriers trying to advance in a career as a WOC in a field where not many people look like her. But she's happy to say that at age 29, she works in a leading role at a top Interior Design Manufacturer. Enjoy!
