Why is your business unique and what's your pitch?
Cailen Ascher Design is a lifestyle design company. We work with our clients to create healthy, happy lifestyles and homes. We look at their health, happiness and home and strive to attain well-designed living -- a lifestyle and home based on the principles of intuition, simplicity and beauty.
What led you to start the business?
I have always loved design (interior design especially) and have had a passion for health and wellness for years. I always knew I wanted to be in business for myself and as I considered starting an interior design firm, I was struck with a thought: how could I ever design a successful space for someone who is not in touch with their true self and happy with their current lifestyle. With that thought, Cailen Ascher Design was born.
