We had the good fortune of connecting with Dale Carithers and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dale, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I am a comfort zone person so taken a risk is a risk for me. My Interior design career (journey) has been nothing but risks and changes in my life since 1st day. Natural forces made me take this risk, which was my age of 46 at the time, financial situation, and most of all my passion. I am so grateful it happened, and I nerved looked back! I still prefer my comfort zone for stress maintenance but taking risk to me is like playing chess, you have to do strategic thinking before you move to minimize your loses. 

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I was born and raised in the beautiful state of North Carolina. This is where my father’s love for the arts and architecture was embedded in me with family drives on Sunday afternoons admiring great structures, homes and landscapes. I loves all styles of Interior & Exterior Designs: Minimalist, Tradition, Modern, Urban, Transitional, Bohemian, Electric, etc… Each style gives her an opportunity to expand, learn and appreciate different aspects of people’s lives, taste and interests. What I bring to each design is a functional and beautiful space that communicates the client’s personality or brand. I’m an award winning Interior Designer in the Metro Atlanta area with strong business ethics that can be conducted worldwide with E-design. I can adapt to carry out a wide variety of designs within the Residential and Commercial realm. The challenges for me is growing my business to a great quality brand. Being steady, working hard and keeping my feet to the ground guides the way for me, I LOVE to Creating!!!! Love the thought process that starts from the mind, then translate to the hand to communicate through drawings. The drawings, then become reality through a beautiful Interior or Exterior Design to enhance someone’s environment. Such a beautiful process!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
The Battery Atlanta, Restaurant Superica Concerts In Chastain Park Playing & Staying @ Lake Lanier Islands
