Welcome to Whispering Oaks. My name is Carrie and I’m a Louisiana native who worked in set design and the hospitality industry in CA for many years before starting my professional career with MTV (you may even find a few hints of my early career hidden around the house... if you're old enough to even remember MTV! I absolutely love creating environments for people to immerse themselves in outside of their daily lives. I hope I succeeded :)
