Designer Profile

A passion for blending beauty with function led Carla in to the field of interior design. She has worked on many residential, corporate, and hospitality projects through the years. After spending nine years in the Dallas area employed in architectural and design firms, she chose to stay home with her children for awhile and had the opportunity to live overseas, in Australia and Norway. She has traveled extensively, observing different cultures, architecture, and styles of living, which served to broaden her perspective on design.

Upon settling in The Woodlands in 2000 with her family, she has been working on all types of design projects that include kitchen and bath remodels, new custom home specifications, small commercial spaces, and all types of home furnishings. Carla’s primary goal is to create a beautiful, timeless environment that reflects the personality and style of her client and most effectively satisfies their functional needs.


“My goal is to bring thoughtful, well-crafted, timeless design to each project I pursue. The type of clients I have appreciate the time and effort I put into the design process and the high regard I have for this pursuit. They benefit from my passion and interest in good design. My goal on each project is to love and be proud of each and every endeavor with which I am involved.”
