How Nina Lichtenstein Is Bridging Nature, Neuroscience, and Interior Design

In this episode of DSA’s Designer Spotlight Series, we sit down with award-winning interior designer and writer Nina Lichtenstein to explore the power of thoughtful, wellness-centered design. Nina shares her journey into the design industry, the inspiration behind her work, and how biophilic principles, neuroaesthetics, and a deep connection to nature influence the spaces she creates. We also discuss her experience pursuing professional education and certification through NYIAD, RIDQC, and DSA, along with advice for aspiring designers looking to build confidence and credibility in their careers. Whether you’re an established designer or just beginning your professional journey, this conversation is filled with insight, inspiration, and practical wisdom.
