Multi-award-winning designer honored as ‘woman of influence’
With 40+ national design awards, Lori Carroll is well known for her creative talents. Her professional accolades began early, winning countless ASID and IIDA awards over the years, including eight local Best of Show awards since 1998. Most recently, she brought home the Gold in KBDN’s 2017 Kitchen & Bath Design Awards, Master Bathrooms Over $50,000 category, and has also won the NKBA Pinnacle of Design, the 2016 NKBA Kitchen of the Year and 2017 NKBA Bathroom of the Year awards.
Neither are her talents confined to the U.S.; in 2016, she won the Kitchen & Bathroom Designer Awards’ International Designer of the Year award.
But for all her design expertise, Carroll is equally skilled as a savvy business woman, having been honored as Tucson’s 2015 Women of Influence – Female Business Owner of the Year.
“Being a small town girl from Iowa, it’s hard to believe all that has happened in my career over the past few decades. Although my business is still based in a smaller market, with a diverse demographic, I have been fortunate to go from winning Best of Show at local ASID Design Excellence competitions to being recognized nationally and internationally for my designs. I still see myself as a relatively simple person; embracing a profession that looks glamorous on the outside but takes an elevated level of drive and dedication to succeed.”
