Tell us about yourself & your company?
Cara: My Name is Cara and I am the owner and principal designer at Triple Dot Design Studio. We are a boutique design firm that specializes in high end residential design. We strive to make spaces that have a comfortable, casual livability to them while being extremely functional and beautiful.

How did you get into the residential construction industry?
Cara: I grew up in the construction industry, my dad was a contractor and built all my childhood homes. I witnessed many houses being built from the ground up. I could always be found helping out my Dad on site or absorbing the beautiful house plans that were around the house. I absolutely loved walking through a framed house and picturing what it was going to be when it was done and what each shell of a room was going to be. So naturally my path found its way to interior design.

What keeps you in the industry?
Cara: I absolutely love making positive impacts on people’s lives and spaces. You get to meet and work with so many wonderful people to make other people’s dreams come true!
