We have provided architectural accents for a wide range of clientele, inclucing churches, hospitals and individual homes.

Cindy Sharpe has been working in the glass industry for over 20 years, and is the sole proprietor of Carved Designs since it's inception. While acquiring a BFA in Sculpture from Memphis College of Art in 1982, she was appointed head artist and technical supervisor or the creation of the Vietnam War Memorial here in Memphis. She has worked on projects for the historic Peabody Hotel in Memphis and Orlando, Florida, which involved the installation of distinctive fountains etched in glass and stainless steel. She also took part in extensive research and technical development of etching techniques for metal elevator doors, which resulted in business projects for Dover Elevator Corporation and Walt Disney Enterprises. Through Carved Designs, she continues to offer services of custom designed architectural applications to individuals and organizations, while working in cooperation with a local network of dedicated designers and artisans.
