Cassandra Hall's story is one of resilience, determination, and unwavering commitment to her dreams despite facing numerous challenges along the way. As a single mother of three sons, she embarked on her interior design journey after graduating from WSU with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts in Design. However, unforeseen circumstances led her to step away from the world of interior design, but she never lost hope.


In 2015, she founded Luxurious Elements LLC, her own interior design company, only to face setbacks that made her question her path. Focused on raising her children, Cassandra went back to school to obtain a Master’s Degree in Science and Administration, majoring in Public Administration. Despite facing obstacles, she found joy working in educational environments and seized an opportunity to redesign the Technology Department at Birmingham Public Schools.

The project reignited her passion for design and education, but tragedy struck with the passing of her mother. Amidst grief, she rediscovered an old CAD drawing from her college days, reigniting her long-held dream of owning and operating an interior design firm. Reflecting on her journey, Cassandra realized that her diverse work experiences had equipped her with the skills needed to run her own business.
