The Young and Professional Profile
  
October 12, 2007

Angela Page, 33, took her finance degree and her love of design and turned them into a successful business. Stepping outside the box, she chose to leave the security of a corporate job and pursue her dream. The result? Le Creatif Designs, LLC., a successful interior design consulting firm launched in 2000. In 2007 Angela will open Le Creatif Design Gallery, which will offer quality, fashionable and unique furniture to the sophisticated client. Angela's success is due in large part to her outlook on life, "Your dreams will inspire you but your goals will keep you moving in the right direction." This belief has carried her through the many challenges of a small business owner. In 2005, she was awarded the Miller Urban Entrepreneur Series Business Plan Contest, which enabled her to invest more in her business. Angela's accomplishments have not gone unnoticed, in 2007 she was nominated Black Enterprise Magazine's Rising Star of the year. To learn more about Angela and how she turned her dreams into a successful business, read on in this week's Young & Professional Profile.


Le Creatif Designs, LLC, is one of metro Atlanta’s most progressive interior design consulting firms. Launching my business in 2000, I believe I have made an indelible mark in the interior design industry. After more than seven years of success, Le Creatif Designs is expanding its services to further include retail sales with Le Creatif Design Gallery. The design gallery will offer high quality, fashionable, and unique furniture and home accessory pieces sure to please the sophisticated client with a discerning palette for creative design.
As Le Creatif Designs expands to include Le Creatif Design Gallery, it presents new daily challenges. In addition to customer and vendor contacts, networking with business professionals and organizations, creating design layouts, and sourcing product to complete the designs I am so involved in setting up the gallery location from the design aspect as well as establishing all of the systems necessary to run the facility. I am also interviewing for various positions for the gallery.
