## Meet Ciara Holland: Bringing Healthcare Design Expertise to Our Dallas Team
We're excited to welcome **Ciara Holland** to the Tangram family as our newest Sales Executive in Dallas, Texas. With her background as a Healthcare Design + Application Specialist at a major furniture manufacturer, Ciara brings valuable experience in navigating the unique requirements of healthcare environments.
Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Ciara has called Dallas home for six of the past eight years (with a brief California adventure in between). Her deep appreciation for thoughtfully designed spaces extends beyond the office—she's become something of a Dallas dining connoisseur, always seeking out restaurants where exceptional food meets beautiful interior design.
**Getting to Know Ciara**
**Weekend Adventures:** You'll find Ciara exploring Dallas's vibrant restaurant scene, from discovering new culinary gems to revisiting established favorites. "Dallas has such an amazing food culture and beautifully designed spaces," she shares. "There's a never-ending list of places to experience."
**Local Recommendations:** When friends visit Dallas, Ciara curates memorable dining experiences. Her go-to suggestions include Monarch at The Thompson Hotel for stunning city views, Kessaku for innovative culinary experiences (they even offer Japanese flower arrangement classes paired with sushi), and Catbird for drinks with authentic Dallas atmosphere.
**Personal Growth Goals:** In 2024, Ciara is focused on elevating her home cooking skills to match the quality of the exceptional restaurants she frequents—a pursuit that reflects her attention to detail and commitment to excellence.
**A Memorable Moment:** One of her most cherished cooking experiences was preparing dinner for her parents alongside her daughter. "My mom is always such a gracious and thoughtful host," Ciara reflects. "It made me so happy to make my parents happy with a good meal." The menu featured cast-iron steaks with cauliflower mash and haricot verts, plus a from-scratch cake baked by her daughter.
**Team Spirit:** As a proud Ohio State University alumna, Ciara knows the value of teamwork and dedication—qualities that will serve her well at Tangram.
**Looking Ahead at Tangram**
Ciara's perspective on joining our team is particularly insightful. Having observed Tangram from both collaborative and competitive angles in her previous role, she recognizes our unique market position. "I think Tangram is uniquely positioned in this market to make a big impact," she notes.
Her enthusiasm for learning from her new teammates, combined with her healthcare design background and positive attitude, makes her a valuable addition to our growing Dallas presence. As commercial design continues to evolve—especially in healthcare environments where functionality and aesthetics must work in perfect harmony—Ciara's specialized experience will be instrumental in serving our clients' complex needs.
Welcome to the team, Ciara! We're thrilled to have your expertise and enthusiasm as part of the Tangram story.
