  DBA Tara S. Carroll

  Jul 1996 - Dec 2009

  Business and Marketing Consultant

  * Used the Theory of Constraints criterion as well as self-proposed theories and processes to assist in establishing solutions for businesses that were looking to create improvement, and/or growth. * Conducted guerilla marketing style complimentary sessions to attract potential new business clientele while creating the Carroll Consulting Group (CCG) startup business in Salt Lake City, UT in 1996.* As a partner and co-founder of CCG, we continued as a group of consultants for 8 years to clientele existing in Southern CA, Lake Tahoe, NV, Las Vegas NV, and St. George, UT. * In 2009, after CCG had dissolved, I was retained as an independent consultant to assess the marketing and operational needs of a struggling legal firm specializing in mortgage modifications (Legal Modification Solutions, Inc.). I was brought in to help find a way to survive and cultivate growth at a point when the business was near failing. I used the Theory Of Constraints visual mapping process to assist the owners in redeveloping a new marketing and operational strategy. This resulted in dozens of new clients, producing tens of thousands in increased revenue, and over $6,000 in monthly overhead savings realized. Show less

  ReDesign Masters

  Oct 2021 - now

  Founder and Senior Designer

  My son and I started reDesign Masters, out of the demand and need that the Las Vegas Valley has brought us. After spending most of my adult life involved in construction, Closet Design, and Kitchen & Bath design and installations - I found myself with referrals and former clients coming to me weekly, seeking out my skills and talents to assist them in creating beautiful, functional, and affordable solutions. Now that my children are adults, and most of them with their own entrepreneurial endeavors working out for them, my youngest son, who has had a plethora of CAD engineering and design experience and skills, as well as woodworking, carpentry, and other business related talents, convinced me that our talents and expertise combined, could provide a much-needed solution to fill an existing gap in the Las Vegas valley. We have worked tirelessly for several years to develop our unique style of designing and engineering residential built-in products, and building/installing custom closets, laundry rooms, pantries, offices, entertainment centers, kitchens, bathrooms, and more! We are having a blast, and in the meantime, helping clients create beautiful, functional solutions to improve their homes and everyday lives! Show less
