Karen L Benson & Associates

Benson & Associates is a Residential and Commercial Interior Design Firm located in the Downtown Fort Myers River District. Our team is passionate about improving lives through design - working to make our client's visions become reality from initial concept to the final details that finish the space. The firm was established in 1996 by Karen L. Benson, ASID after 18 years of experience in Architecture and Commercial Design firms. Although her firm has won many design awards, her greatest satisfaction comes from the relationships she has built with her clients, most of whom continue to call on her as their families and businesses grow.

Since earning her interior design degree in 1978 from the University of Florida's School of Architecture, Karen has collaborated with clients from Key West to Cape Cod. The arc of her 36-year professional design career includes 13 years at architectural firms and five years with a residential interior design firm. With this background, Karen established Benson & Associates in 1996 focusing on the space planning and interior architectural needs of her commercial and residential design clients. She is a former ASID board member and has served as a NCIDQ examination juror.
