OUR TEAM
RACHEL LACKORE
LEAD DESIGNER
Having grown up on the California coast, the beautiful landscape shaped Rachel’s desire to work in the design industry. Rachel loves designing spaces for CL clients that are functional and beautiful while being unique with a nod to coastal California vintage charm. Her favorite part of the design process is presenting to our clients and watching them light up while sharing the customized, full-service design vision and how it all comes together!
When Rachel is away from our design studio, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their two dogs, exploring the Triangle’s food scene, working out and catching up on binge worthy reality TV.
MICHELLE SILVIS
PROJECT MANAGER
With almost 20 years of calling Raleigh home and having spent her entire career in the design industry, Michelle Silvis brings local knowledge and expertise to the CL mix. Michelle’s previous experience in the high end plumbing and hardware world allows our clients to rest assured as we are sourcing the best of the best. Michelle has a calming presence and keeps CL buttoned up; her organization skills are pure magic! Michelle leaves no detail behind and believes in elevating your every day by creating classic, functional designs where our clients can live and thrive in their home.
The best part about Michelle? She believes in work-life balance. Michelle and her husband have three children who spend their weekends cheering on their favorite football teams. Michelle is team beach, her husband is team mountains - so Raleigh is the perfect location for weekend getaways.
MARK GOLDBERG
ACCOUNTING MANAGER
With a degree from Miami of Ohio in Finance and many years of experience in building client relationships, Mark brings a strong sense of professionalism and strategy to the CL team. Mark has managed budgets and projects for several Fortune 500 companies, and he always has his clients’ budgets top of mind.
When Mark is not working, he is ferociously peddling away on his Peloton and dreaming about all the calories he can consume at the best restaurants in Raleigh, North Carolina - talk about a #foodsnob. On Sundays, you can find him glued to the TV in his man cave, drinking a Bourbon or a glass of Spanish Tempranillo while watching his favorite team, the Cleveland Browns. Go Brownies!
