About Chris Cannon

CREATIVE, STRATEGIC MARKETER | OUT-OF-THE-BOX PROBLEM SOLVER & DESIGNER Everyday is a new day and we should make the best of it. Whether it be opportunities or issues, great things will come out of every situation. I have grown up in the furniture industry, from a young age I have had the pleasure of working with industry giants and great mentors that have taught me how different industries work. At the same time I have been able to work on some of the largest real estate projects on the east coast through our design firm. We have had the pleasure of traveling to almost the entire United States and working or shipping our products to be enjoyed in their new home. Our companies cover many facets, including Home Furnishings and textiles, Interior Design, Logistics, and Retail Operations. After graduating East Tennessee State University I moved back to Elizabethton and working with the first generation that started our company have taken our company to the next level and set a growth strategy for the next generation to come. I enjoy the diversity of design challenges thrown my way. I work heavily with commercial accounts to provide a clear solution to make there projects a complete success. I enjoy working with different industries and learning how to make the clients life easier through the use of one of my company\'s project planning or design concepts. Specialties: I specialize in designing the high country of North Carolina and the east Tennessee region. Specialize in rustic and adirondack style homes. Commercial jobs such as clubhouses and public buildings i.e. sales office, schools, ect are a welcomed challenge.
