Caralee McKinney
OWNER & LEAD DESIGNER
Caralee lives a life steeped in design; devoted to creating beautiful spaces that invigorate the senses.
Her artistry flourishes through a rich background in design, drawing inspiration from her experience running a textile and natural fabrics company, attending business and design schools, and curating home renovations through construction consulting and material selection.
Caralee's personal aesthetic tastes are akin to a 'Modern Farmhouse' approach, but her greatest pleasure is working with the unique styling preferences of her clients. Caralee's designs are balanced and cohesive—brought to life through the careful blending of woods, metals, lighting and colour.
Carolyn Campos
DESIGNER
Carolyn brings a unique vision to every space, elevating the Spruced Kitchens experience with warmth and a welcoming presence that inspires our clients.
Her design journey began with a specialization in women’s action sports apparel, including over a decade at Volcom and five years with Troy Lee Designs. Her technical expertise in apparel became the foundation of a passion for architecture and building materials, sparked while designing her own home in 2020. Carolyn effortlessly bridges her background in textiles to the world of architecture and surfaces, crafting spaces that reflect her love for Japanese aesthetics and commitment to quality.
Guided by her international travels—particularly her journeys to Japan—Carolyn’s design philosophy is deeply inspired by the harmony and precision found in Japanese design.
