About the Speaker

Since opening her business in 1985, Charlotte has designed private residences and executive suites all over the United States and the Caribbean. In addition to designing interiors, Charlotte Moss' career has included retail stores, celebrated for Charlotte's unique blend of American, European and Classical influences.

Having launched her career on Wall Street, Charlotte has a keen sense for the shifting sands of change, amid all her decorating prowess. Widening her reach in recent years, Charlotte Moss, LLC now brings her signature Flair for Living to consumers worldwide with collections available under license. She has designed fabric and trim for Fabricut, carpeting, sisals and soon-to-be scenic mural wallpapers for Stark Carpet, china for Pickard, and fabrics and wall coverings for Brunschwig & Fils.  Most recently, Charlotte has used her experience culled from twenty-five years of decorating couture homes to design a collection of furniture and upholstery with Century Furniture.  Charlotte’s collection of framed decorative art for Soicher-Marin which launched at the High Point Market this Fall is based in-part on her own photography.

Charlotte’s blog, Tête-A-Tête, appears on her website, along with a photographic blog called C'est Inspiré. In addition, Charlotte reads a number of blogs on a regular basis.
