Carved SolutionsFounder / Brand Ambassador

Oct. 2018Norcross, GeorgiaIn today’s fast-paced and anonymous world we don't always remember the importance of validating and connecting with the precious souls in our lives. When was the last time you experienced a moment when a loved one, a friend, a co-worker or an acquaintance really noticed you or cared about you as an individual? It’s a powerful feeling we all deserve and need. Gifting is the perfect opportunity to share with someone that you thought specifically about them. Selecting a quality product is where the decision making starts. Naturally, you’ll choose quality that reflects your discerning and informed taste, probably made in the USA, with people and planet friendly raw materials from a reliable and dependable company that you know and trust. Now make that gift custom for the recipient; monogrammed, personalized or maybe even capture their favorite hobby or pastime, the focus of their collection or a milestone celebration. I’m proud to share that thousands of retailers nationwide offer Carved Solutions as that go to source for thoughtful, personalized gifting. Internally, Carved Solutions is a unique organization. We don’t consider ourselves co-workers; we see each other as our CS Family. Each member of our family is treasured, appreciated, valued and needed. All of this together creates what Carved Solutions is today, the brand so many have come to love and trust.

Carved SolutionsCEO/Owner

Mar. 2006 - Oct. 2018Williston, VermontWhat started as a hobby business in our basement, employing just my engineer husband & I, has turned into one of the most trusted customization houses in the US. We've grown from "sleeping on the mother ship" as the 3rd shift carved away in the basement & the 2nd shift slept all over our family home to an ever-expanding VT factory located only a few miles from where it all began. Combining my background in business development, management, marketing & finance supported by my husband, Mike's 20 yr history in the semi-conductor industry as a mechanical & electrical engineer, has allowed us the opportunity to create the idea of Carved Solutions. With the addition of the talent, experience & dedication of the CS Family, Carved Solutions really came to life. We focus on offering made in the USA products with people & planet friendly raw materials & innovative technology. Having an engineer on staff allows us to stand out from the crowd. As the only "Carver" in the industry our quality is second to none. Our growing product offering includes, Vermont Made Natural Soaps, Hand Poured Candles, Small Batch, All Natural Body Care, Wooden Cutting Boards & Serving Trays, Pendants, Ornaments, Gallery Wrapped Prints and made in the USA Glassware & Unbreakable Beverageware.
