Recognized with the Neurodiversity Economic Inclusion Award for Advancing Inclusive Economic Opportunity

Nicole Bushhouse is the Founder and CEO of Unruffled Travel, a travel design company rooted in her personal journey of late-identified neurodivergence and the desire to make the world more accessible for others like her. After spending more than two decades in corporate supply chain and logistics, Nicole developed a reputation for bringing structure to complexity, translating needs into solutions, and building systems that work for real people. When she began her own process of research, assessment, and self-discovery around neurodivergence, she recognized how many of the barriers she experienced, including sensory overload, decision fatigue, and environments not built for diverse brains, also showed up in the world of travel.
