Ep. 128- Let's Talk About Setting Clear Boundaries with your Design Business with Caron Woolsey

Some are fortunate enough to discover their passion when they are young — Caron Woolsey is one of them. A native Texan, growing up Caron spent the summers visiting her grandparents in New Orleans, Louisiana. This is where her love of interior design, historic homes, and her appreciation for Creole and French Colonial architecture was born. After graduating Summa Cum Laude from Texas Tech, Caron embarked on a career in oil and gas, which spanned 16 years. While she loved her career, she often felt it wasn’t her true calling. After the birth of her second child and a relocation back to her hometown of Fort Worth for her husband’s job, Caron took on an ultra personal creative endeavor: the design of her new home. A new construction home, she delighted in working alongside her builder from the ground-up to bring her dream home to life. During the process, Caron caught the attention of other local homebuilders, and once her home was complete, with homeowners. She began consulting on interior design projects until it became clear that was no longer a creative hobby. In 2017, after relocating to The Woodlands with her family, she officially founded CW Interiors. Since opening the doors to her studio, she’s grown her team to six and has had the privilege of partnering with developers, homebuilders, and homeowners to create storytelling homes in The Woodlands, Houston, and Conroe metropolitan areas.
