?I have had the good fortune of being born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, enjoying its pristine, green environment. With an adventurous family, I was also able to enjoy many cultural experiences, including traveling abroad and taking in a plethora of design inspiration from Europe, Asia and Africa. ? I attended the University of Colorado majoring in Art History with double minors in Art and Photography. I pursued Interior design further at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles. Immediately following my graduation, I worked for an Interior Design firm in Newport Beach , California, working on model homes and personal residences and estates, followed by years with the prestigious design firm, Szabo and Associates. In more recent years, I founded my own design and illustration firm, Carras Designs. My Unique blend of education, life and vocational pursuits offers clients a wide array of budgets and themes. Many strong relationships with builders and design teams in the Northwest and Southern California have given me the confidence to conquer any design challenges. ? I look forward to helping you achieve the perfect look for your home or office! Thanks for stopping by my site today! ? - Georgene "Gigi" Scholey?
