Sometimes all you need is some fresh inspiration to fall in love with your home all over again…or make others fall in love with it.” This is Carie’s philosophy when working in her client’s homes, either for resale or redesign. A Registered Nurse/Nurse Practitioner by training, Carie’s lifelong passion for decorating and design prompted a career change in 2004. This passion, along with her personal experiences in building and remodeling her own homes inspired her to start her own interior redesign and home staging business, Fresh Redesign. She is also a partner and Professional Trainer for
Redesigning Interiors. Carie believes everyone deserves to have a beautiful and functional living space, no matter what their style or budget. She strives to provide each of her clients with a home redesign or staging experience second to none. Her redesign, staging, and training services are offered throughout the greater Tucson and Phoenix areas.

Carie is a Charter Member of The Society of Decorating Professionals (SDP), nationally certified in Interior Redesign, Home Staging, and as a Redesign and Staging Trainer.  As a professional business coach and speaker in her areas of expertise, Carie continually updates her skills through hands-on training, seminars, and professional literature. Among her many speaking engagements, Carie was recently featured as a presenter at the SDP's 2007 International Redesign & Staging Conference in Chicago, IL. Her talents and expertise have also been showcased in The Arizona Republic, The Arizona Daily Star, Sonoran Living (live television), and on local radio station KVOI.

A native of Minnesota, Carie has enjoyed the Arizona lifestyle since relocating in 1995. After many years in Phoenix, she now resides in her Catalina Foothills home with her husband and four children in Tucson, Arizona. She credits her love for redesign and her business success to both her supportive husband and family, and to Kristine Porter and Jane Douglas, her mentors and trainers from Redesigning Interiors.
