🎂 1 Day until our 10 Year Celebration! 🎂

Ten years in, and one of the things we hear most often is how much people admire the design of our spaces.

So much of that is thanks to Cara Phillips of Influence By Design.

Cara, RID, IIDA, LEED AP, has spent over 25 years in commercial design, and she's been a true partner to us as we've grown. She has a way of listening, really listening, and turning what we hope a space could feel like into something tangible. The light, the flow, the little details that make each campus its own, that's her work showing up.

We're so grateful for the care she's poured into our spaces, and for the way she's helped make them feel like home for our members.

Thank you, Cara!
