## Meet Carrie Piel: Our Newest Customer Service Representative
We're excited to introduce **Carrie Piel**, who has joined Tangram Interiors as our Customer Service Representative. With her background in IT account management and genuine passion for client relationships, Carrie brings valuable experience to our team.
### Getting to Know Carrie
**From Tech to Design** Carrie comes to us from the Information Technology sector, where she served as an Account Manager for a leading provider of identification and RFID solutions. Her experience managing client accounts and selling complex ID systems has given her a solid foundation in understanding client needs and delivering solutions.
**Newport Beach Native** A true Southern California local, Carrie grew up in Irvine and Newport Beach and continues to call Newport Beach home. When visitors come to town, she's quick to recommend **The Beachcomber in Crystal Cove**, **Balboa Island**, and **Zinque on Lido Island** as must-see spots.
### Life Outside the Office
Carrie's weekends are a blend of wellness and connection. You'll find her: - Practicing yoga or working out - Enjoying beach time with friends, family, and her dog Gracie - Experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen
Her recent Super Bowl turkey chili was particularly memorable—not just because the Rams won, but because her brother used to play for the team, making the victory extra special.
### Personal Favorites
When we asked Carrie about her favorites, she shared: - **Movie**: The Notebook - **Book**: *Secrets of Closing the Sale* by Zig Ziglar - **Artist**: Freddie Mercury/Queen
Those close to Carrie describe her as **happy, loving, and kind**—qualities that translate beautifully into client service.
### Looking Ahead
Carrie is eager to grow her knowledge in areas that directly impact our industry, particularly **commercial interior design trends** and **inspiration and motivation** techniques. Her commitment to continuous learning aligns perfectly with Tangram's culture of growth and excellence.
"I'm looking forward to longevity with Tangram and working with a great team," Carrie shares. "I hope to bring my professionalism, enthusiasm, tenacity, and to always remain teachable."
### What This Means for Our Clients
With Carrie's account management experience and natural client-focused approach, our commercial design clients can expect even stronger support throughout their projects. Her background in complex solution sales, combined with her enthusiasm for the design industry, positions her to understand and address the unique challenges that come with commercial interior projects.
Welcome to the team, Carrie! We're thrilled to have your energy, experience, and dedication as part of the Tangram family.
