Carla-rae Prober

Visionary & Self Expression

Who is Carla-rae Prober?

Stylist. Interior Designer. Self Confidence Mentor

Carla-rae has never taken the conventional path and every detour has made her exactly who she is.

Her career began with a foundation in fashion merchandising, a training ground that sharpened her eye for beauty, quality, and the quiet power of the right thing in the right place. That instinct carried her into retail buying, where she curated product across 60 stores throughout Canada learning early that what women choose to surround themselves with is never frivolous. It is personal. It is intentional. It matters.

Then came a new chapter: a move to the United States, a marriage, and a pivot that would have stopped most people cold. Carla-rae taught herself interior design entirely on her own and built a thriving business she ran for 33 years. The work was the same, really: creating spaces where people feel safe, at ease, and fully themselves.

  • "There are very few Carla Raes in this world. We met through fashion and jewelry, yes, but what I have come to love most about her is her love of life, on every single level. Carla Rae doesn’t just create things. She creates feeling. She creates warmth. She creates home. She has walked through her own quiet, difficult times, and because of that she understands what it means to begin again. To rebirth. We have traveled together. We have laughed together. She is my best friend. And even though I’m older, she takes care of me like I’m the younger one. That’s Carla Rae. Welcome Haus feels like an extension of her heart. It’s about people. It’s about connection. It’s about creating a space where you feel held, seen, and welcomed. And that’s what she does best. She welcomes you in. I’m so excited to join her at Welcome Haus gatherings to share the space she’s creating, and to stand beside her as she brings this beautiful vision to life. "

  • "I’ve been waiting for an experience like Welcome Haus for a very long time! I need to hear advice from different generations of women and Welcome Haus gives me that opportunity. It’s incredible to have different generations of women who are speaking to all of us about our spirits, souls, fashion and relationships. Carla-Rae Prober is the ultimate inspiration for a woman who is aging with power, style and peace. Her life’s journey has been so rich and she has so much to share. Since the day I met her,I have felt supported, seen and empowered in her presence. She makes me believe I can get through anything with strength and grace. I always tell her I want to be her when I’m her age. She’s still so sexy and vibrant and youthful yet has experience and depth that are unmatched. I’m blessed to have her as a role model and friend. I’m so excited for the world to have Welcome Haus! "

A Dream since she was 16 years old.

At that age, she fell in love with the idea of designing a cashmere sweater collection in Italy — the kind of dream that stays tucked away for decades, quiet but never quite gone. She finally brought it to life, collaborating with Italian artisans on a collection that was as much about legacy as it was about craft.

That collection became a turning point. Having built businesses, crossed borders, reinvented herself more than once, and finally honored a dream she’d carried for fifty years, Carla-rae saw something clearly: the season she is in now is her most important one. She has pledged this chapter to women.

As a Co-founder of The WelcomeHaus a business uniting three generations of women through curated events, mentorship and education by creating  spaces where women feel safe, seen, and supported. She carries the wisdom of Ruth’s loyalty, Deborah’s courage, and Miriam’s joy into every gathering, every conversation, every woman she walks alongside. She is fierce. She comes by it honestly. And she is just getting started.
