Julie has always had a passion for working in the design industry. To follow through on that passion, she dedicated her education to Interior Design and Business studies at East Carolina University. Julie has served many roles in the various Custom Home family of stores throughout the years, and is currently the General Manager for Custom Home.
As a true Carolina Girl Julie cannot get enough of the beach, and has converted her husband, Daniel, into an equally big lover of the coast! On any given weekend you can find them somewhere near the salt water, with their two fur babies Nattie and Minnie.
Nicole is a Virginia Tech graduate, originially from Blacksburg, Virginia. Nicole moved to Wilmington to pursue her passion for interior design and experience life by the water. Her personal style is a blend of organic modern, and classic transitional elements of design.
When she's not busy staging homes you can find her spending time with her fur baby Penny or watching Hokie sports!
JoLeigh is a Garner, NC native who after schooling made her way to NYC to pursue a career in acting, but soon after realized she was a southerner through and through! She then made her home in Wilmington where she went to school for communications. Soon after, she embarked on her true passion for design and all things home interiors. Having led renovation projects and personal investment properties, she began to design in her spare time as a stay at home mom, cultivating her style and skills. She is drawn most to a Classical modern, Transitional style with a nod to that southern flare!
When she is not staging and designing, you can find her loving on and driving her two daughters everywhere. JoLeigh never misses an opportunity to get on a good dance floor or stage singing karaoke!
Sarah is a native of our beloved port city of Wilmington. As a third generation real estate professional with a background in sales and valuation, she developed a lifelong passion for the varied architectural styles and aesthetics that our beautiful area offers.
When not in the office, Sarah enjoys attending concerts, exploring nature, time with family, and taking in those gorgeous coastal sunsets!
After years of helping her husband run their small business, Laura was ready for a change. She grew up around a family of artists so painting has always been a form of expression for her. Custom Home Staging & Design allows her passion for design and visual creativity to come through and she loves helping potential home buyers see the potential in their future homes.
In Laura’s spare time you can find her hanging out with her 2 sons, husband and their 3 dogs. A fun fact about Laura is that she travels every year to Colorado with her cousin to hike various mountain summits.
