Cory Carpenter

Cory has been designing homes since she got her first Barbie doll house at five! Cory holds a B.S. and M.A. in Education, but her true passion lies in the creative process. Cory has a true eye for design and attention to detail. She is passionate about personalizing space to meet her clients’ needs. Cory doesn’t consider this a job, but rather a luxury to get to be part of creating something beautiful and unique. When Cory is not designing homes, she spends every spare minute of time with her family. Cory enjoys travelling, going to art fairs and antique stores, creating art, baking, attending theater productions, and being a taxi service to her daughter.
