## Meet Curtis Lee: Our New Healthcare Sales Executive
We're excited to welcome Curtis Lee to the Tangram team as our newest Healthcare Sales Executive. Curtis brings a unique blend of design expertise, business experience, and personality that makes him a perfect fit for our growing healthcare practice.
### From Coast to Coast: A Design Journey
Curtis's path to Tangram reflects the diverse experiences that shape great design professionals. Born and raised in New York, he spent two decades calling Honolulu home before settling in Southern California. This cross-country journey has given him a rich perspective on regional design preferences and market dynamics—invaluable insights for serving healthcare clients across different markets.
Most recently, Curtis served as Area Manager for Design Within Reach, where he specialized in authentic modern design and furniture solutions. This experience in the contemporary design space positions him well to understand the evolving aesthetic needs of healthcare environments, where clean lines and functional beauty are increasingly important.
### What Curtis Brings to Healthcare Design
When we asked Curtis what he hopes to contribute to Tangram, his response highlighted exactly why he's such a strong addition to our team:
**Design Passion**: Curtis brings genuine enthusiasm for great design—a quality that resonates with healthcare administrators and design teams looking for partners who truly understand their vision.
**Business Acumen**: His track record in furniture and design sales demonstrates the commercial insight necessary to navigate complex healthcare projects and procurement processes.
**Relationship Building**: Curtis emphasizes his ability to forge strong connections, which is essential when working with the diverse stakeholder groups typical in healthcare projects—from facility managers to clinical staff to executive teams.
**Positive Outlook**: Perhaps most importantly, Curtis brings humor and optimism to every interaction, qualities that make challenging projects more manageable and collaborative relationships more productive.
### The Healthcare Design Opportunity
Curtis joins Tangram at an exciting time for healthcare design. As facilities nationwide focus on creating more welcoming, efficient, and therapeutic environments, the demand for sophisticated design solutions continues to grow. His background in modern furniture and design aligns perfectly with healthcare's shift toward more hospitality-inspired interiors.
"I'm looking forward to learning a new segment of the design business and meeting great people—both clients and co-workers," Curtis shared. This curiosity about the healthcare sector, combined with his proven sales experience, positions him to make immediate contributions while continuing to grow his expertise.
### Beyond the Office
When Curtis isn't working on healthcare projects, you'll find him with his dogs or enjoying 80s classics (Madonna is a particular favorite). His lighthearted approach to life—he jokes that his island survival experience in Hawaii prepared him for anything—brings the kind of positive energy that makes project teams more effective and client relationships more enjoyable.
As we continue expanding our healthcare practice, Curtis's combination of design knowledge, sales expertise, and relationship-building skills makes him an ideal addition to our team. We're excited to see how his fresh perspective and proven abilities will benefit our healthcare clients throughout California and beyond.
**Welcome to Tangram, Curtis—we're thrilled to have you on board!**
