Sheila Shenasi
Principal
Founder Sheila Shenasi grew up in beautiful Southern California, calling the South Bay coastal communities of Los Angeles her home, where she spent summers days at the beach. She attended the University of California San Diego (UCSD) where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and minored in Photography.
Upon moving back to Los Angeles after college, she started working at a local commercial design firm, where her love for interior design blossomed. She returned to school for another Bachelor’s in Interior Design then onto the Los Angeles A&D world, never looking back. Initially working for furniture dealers, such as Tangram and Unisource Solutions, she learned about the design and project process which taught her how to work directly with end-users by navigating them thru the contract furniture process while bringing the design firms vision to life. Venturing into business development she successfully established long-term relationships that she still maintains today. Taking a leap of faith, she became a manufacture rep, working with a small local independent rep group for the last five years to grow her relationships and clientele in the Southern California territory. At the same time, Sheila started to volunteer for IIDA Los Angeles City Center on different committees, recently being appointed the Co-Director of the Los Angeles chapter. She is involved in almost all IIDA events in Los Angeles.
In 2019, she went all in, opening a successful woman-owned independent rep group that provides unique product solutions, impeccable customer service, and a fun experience to the Southern California A&D community. Her motto is “Let’s make it work and let’s make it fun!” She can be a valuable product consultant to you and your team. You can reach her here.
Cari Meyer loves being a Manufacturer representative, with over 16 years as an A&D Sales specialist plus 9 years prior experience on the dealer side gives her a unique position of knowledge. "This experience along with my education in Interior Design gives me a better understanding of our industry as a whole and also makes my clients more accessible." She enjoys being involved and joining with other fellow reps for A&D community events. Socializing is such a big part of our industry and Cari enjoys being creative in putting together presentations that are not only leave an impression but are fun to attend and learn. In her free time, she loves to be a baseball league mom to her 13 year old son. And get competitive out on the local tennis and pickleball courts. At home she loves to do DIY projects and to tend to her garden.
