Caroline Cochran
Originally from Point Clear, Alabama, Caroline moved to New Orleans after graduating from Ole Miss. She met Chris in 2015, during that time she worked for a local interior designer. They married in 2017 and soon after merged their similar business goals, interests & commitments which started the idea Joli Mélange Co. Caroline likes to say she is an “accidental” entrepreneur because she did not imagine, or plan Joli Mélange Co. but was given the opportunity to let it evolve through the help and guidance of her husband, support from family & friends, and her passion for real estate, design, renovating & historic preservation.
Caroline is committed to her clients from contract to completion. She prioritizes your project through her fiduciary duties to you with an intentional & systematic process and the impeccable creativity she uses to achieve your goals. Her systematic process represents the emphasis of clarity: starting with a simple conversation, vision, reality, negotiation, collaboration, and ending in gratitude.
She began her life long love of philanthropy as a young child beginning with volunteering at local nursing homes, teen tutoring, then joining the Delta Delta Delta Sorority at Ole Miss, and presently an active member of the Junior League of New Orleans, The Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans and the Tri Delta Alumnae group of New Orleans. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with friends & family, exercising, beach trips, skiing, and loving her mini golden doodle, Clancy!
Joli Mélange Co. remains at your disposal from the beginning to completion of you project.
