Grad and Furniture Designer Tina Nicole Authors Dream Design Disrupt Book

FIDM Merchandising & Marketing Graduate Tina Nicole challenges readers to exit their comfort zone in Dream Design Disrupt, the first book published by the creative entrepreneur and award-winning furniture designer. A memoir of a life in design, she chronicles the joys, rewards, frustrations, and growth that comes from embracing change and disrupting the status quo. 

The co-founder of the LA-based home design brand, Nathan Anthony, the native Californian has moved through life with the kind of confidence and competence that makes her impressive list of achievements look easy. Now, Nicole shares the hard-won and hands-on experiences that are behind the awards and accolades she's enjoyed over the years. 

Tina's products are featured in top design publications such as Architectural Digest, Town & Country, Luxe Interiors + Design, and Elle Decor. As Creative Director and CEO of Nathan Anthony, she's received five prestigious International Design & Architecture awards, various design recognitions in the U.S. and U.K., and a spot in 2018 on the World’s Leading Design Names list.

The 172-page memoir and art book, which was launched at last month's High Point Market, is filled with personal photographic images, inspired original illustrations, and helpful life lessons "applicable to students, entry-level professionals, or mid-life career switchers who dream of customizing their own lives."
