Karen Holloway, President
Though she had been a Respiratory Therapist since 1987 and a mom since 1997; in 2001 Karen joined her husband Jeffrey by taking over the financial side of the business.
“In 2002, we had the distinct pleasure of working with Ellen Cheever, who helped establish our sales process and fast-tracked our showroom construction,” says Karen. “She also suggested that I work side-by-side with Jeffrey, working with clients and their designs. It was like a light bulb going off—I am now working toward my Certified Kitchen Designer accreditation.”
