We’ve had so many new faces join us lately, so I thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce myself and CarMELLA Design Studio.
I’m Carly—the founder of CarMELLA Design Studio, where classic design and custom organization come together to create clutter-free, effortless living.
A few fun facts about me:
• Music, travel, and fitness fuel my soul
• I get to do everyday life—and some pretty amazing adventures—with my “luv luv”
• Cat mom to Charlie (white stripe on his nose) and Hunter (milk mustache)
• Before launching CarMELLA Design Studio, I spent most of my career in corporate retail, working in buying, product development, e-commerce, and ultimately discovering my true passion—visual merchandising and design.
What we do at CarMELLA:
✨ Home & Business Organization
From kitchens and closets to playrooms, garages, offices, and beyond—we create personalized systems that save you time, reduce stress, and elevate your everyday.
✨ Interior Design
Whether it’s a single-room refresh, a full remodel, or styling the pieces you already own, we create timeless spaces that are both beautiful and livable.
✨ Visual Merchandising & Retail Design
From new store concepts to existing spaces that need a refresh, we help businesses create environments that tell a story, elevate the customer experience, and support sales.
✨ Rental Property & Temporary Living Design
From executive housing and furnished apartments to vacation rentals, we create welcoming, beautiful, and functional spaces that feel like home from the moment guests arrive.
