Carrie's Story
Where inner peace meets outer beauty.
My entire life has been dedicated to creating beauty; in fashion, interior design, relationships, my internal landscape, and now art ~ there is no greater pursuit than beauty.
BEAUTY TRANSFORMS, BEAUTY HEALS
BEAUTY BRINGS US BACK TO OURSELVES
After having my children, I left behind a career in fashion to join a growing interior design business. I brought to it the same passion and focus that I put into my days as a fashion show coordinator, producer and stylist for print and video work. I felt so fortunate to be able to help others create a home that reflects their unique aesthetic, and as a life coach it offered me a unique language and perspective surrounding transformation.
Through my studies in psychology in college, coupled with my own experience of feeling stuck or powerless over things beyond my control, I realized I needed tools to “retrain my brain” and maybe others did as well. Becoming a certified life coach resonated and intrigued me. As an interior designer, Feng Shui consultant, and now mixed media artist, I understand the deep connection our home, and what we place within it has on our overall wellbeing. I speak more about this in my book, Om for the Home.
I created Design from Within not just as an interior design firm but as an “interior” redesign business. I wholeheartedly believe in the positive effect holistic “interior” design has on our mental and physical wellbeing. Our choices, our actions, our environments , they are a mirror.
I found myself at another turning point in my journey and decided to pause the design business as I became passionate about creating art. I now am a full time mixed media artist creating works inspired by nature and that reflect a wabi-sabi aesthetic. Beauty in the perfectly imperfect. I may take on art consulting and accessorizing projects if it aligns with my purpose. Beauty stirs the soul and so should our living spaces.
I tell it like it is. I am candid and authentic. I love being sociable. I love being solitary. I pride myself on being a good listener and a good communicator. I make conscious choices based on the mind-body connection and can help you do the same. I am curious and adventurous by nature. I try to make every experience the best it can be. I am passionate about creating art that fosters balance, harmony and wellbeing and brings you to a place of hOMe.
