We are very proud to feature our spotlight member Caroline.

A native San Diegan, Caroline Ingalls Demler found an early passion of horseback riding, and went on to compete at the national level. From there, she went east to college at the Savannah College or Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia, to join their collegiate equestrian team. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design and a Master of Arts in Design for Sustainability.

After graduate school, Caroline took an internship at the Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation in Savannah, where she worked in the Sustainability department. She learned about how to make aviation processes more clean and resourceful. She then moved back to Los Angeles to be closer to home, and worked for Hirsch Bedner Associates, a top hospitality interior design firm. She worked on many esteemed projects, such as for Wynn Resorts, Hilton and Hyatt to name a few, and had the chance to travel to China and the Philippines.

Caroline's love for horseback riding drew her back home to San Diego after several years in Los Angeles, where she continued her hospitality interior design career at HBG Design. She worked on several large Native American gaming and hotel projects, including the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Oklahoma, which is the largest casino in the world. She achieved her NCIDQ Certification, an interior design license in the state of Georgia, and became a LEED Accredited Professional.

Now after a decade in the hospitality interior design industry, Caroline has branched out and created her own practice, Ingalls Interiors. She specializes in residential and small commercial interior design, including new construction and renovation projects. Her goal is to simplify the interior design process for clients, ensuring their needs are met while handling the rest.

We are proud to feature our spotlight member Jami Shapiro.

Jami Shapiro is a passionate advocate for creating order and clarity in the lives of those navigating life's transitions. As the founder of A+ Accredited Silver Linings Transitions, she combines her expertise as a Certified Senior Move Manager and ADDCA Trained ADHD Coach to provide comprehensive support that goes beyond traditional organizing services. Specializing in move management services, her team helps make what can be one of life's most stressful experiences truly "magical" for their clients—particularly seniors, though she welcomes anyone looking to transform their moving experience "Making Moves Magical."

Understanding that sustainable organization requires more than just decluttering, Jami works closely with Silver Linings Transitions clients to develop personalized systems that truly stick. Her unique approach integrates ADHD coaching with home organizing, recognizing that effective organization must align with how each individual's brain works and brings evidence-based strategies to help clients create lasting change.

Jami extends her impact beyond one-on-one client work as the host of "Grandma Has ADHD," a podcast where she shares insights, strategies, and stories that resonate with the ADHD community age 50 and over who are just beginning to understand the impact ADHD has had on their lives "hiding in plain sight" . Her personal experience with ADHD and as an adult child of two ADHD parents gives her a deep understanding of the multigenerational challenges families face.
Currently serving on the Board of Directors for NASMM (National Association of Senior and Specialty Move Managers), Jami is committed to advancing industry standards and supporting fellow professionals in the field. Her credentials include being a Certified Senior Advisor and Certified Senior Move Manager, reflecting her dedication to serving clients through all of life's transitions. Jami speaks nationally, internationally and locally about her advocacy work on the intersection of seniors and neurodiversity with a special interest in ADHD and as a Certified Senior Advisor educates and advocates for seniors and their families as they meet new challenges aging brings.

Through Silver Linings Transitions, Jami helps individuals and families transform overwhelming spaces into organized, functional environments while building the skills and systems needed to maintain that organization long-term. Whether guiding clients through complex moves or creating sustainable organizational systems, her holistic approach recognizes that true organization is not just about physical spaces—it's about creating sustainable systems that support how people actually live and think.

We are very proud to feature our spotlight member Nina Carter.

Meet Nina Carter of Nina Carter Productions 🎥
From the soccer fields of Metro Detroit to the TV and beyond, Nina Carter’s journey to founding her own video production company is as dynamic as the stories she tells.

A proud Michigan native, Nina earned a full-ride Division I soccer scholarship to the University of Detroit Mercy, where her discipline and drive first took shape. At just 22, she launched her career in broadcast journalism with her first job in North Dakota — the beginning of a cross-country storytelling adventure. She soon jumped over 100 media markets to land in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she earned an Emmy Award as a multimedia journalist.

Her path then took her to Washington, D.C., where she produced and edited content for the Discovery Channel. She was later recruited to help launch a national digital news show — a platform that has since grown to over a million viewers. Nina continued to grow her creative expertise working at a top agency with global talent and brands, including athletes like Justin Rose and Mike Trout.

Since 2013, Nina has lived and worked in North Dakota, Oklahoma, D.C., Arizona, and now San Diego, where she’s been based for the past two and a half years. This coast-to-coast experience has sharpened her ability to uncover the unique pulse of a place, a business, or a person, and translate it into compelling, human-centered content that resonates deeply with its audience.

Today, as the founder of Nina Carter Productions, Nina draws on her journalistic instincts and creative direction to help small businesses, service providers, and entrepreneurs craft high-quality video content that feels real, strategic, and powerfully impactful.

Her work is — as her tagline says — Crafted to Move. Made to Matter. Check out her website at www.ninacarterproductions.com

When she's not shooting, interviewing, or editing, Nina loves volunteering, hiking, running, biking, painting, and spending time with her husband, Matt, and their three rescue furbabies - Pebbles (dog), Peaches (dog), and Kiki (cat).
