meet the founder Caroline Harper Knapp
Caroline founded HOUSE of HARPER in 2011 as a weekend pastime to showcase her personal style while working in New York City’s fashion industry. By 2013, HOUSE of HARPER had grown into something far more than she ever imagined when she published that first blog post. After signing with Digital Brand Architects, a leading name in influencer management and marketing, and welcoming their first child, Caroline left her corporate job to focus on HOUSE of HARPER full-time.
Becoming a mom and moving back to her home state of Texas inspired Caroline to share more of her passions including family, entertaining, and home decor – transforming HOUSE of HARPER into a well-rounded lifestyle destination. Caroline’s ability to combine stunning visuals with her relatable approach to life and style creates an inviting platform that consistently attracts a loyal audience and significant brand partnerships.
In 2020, Caroline made the decision to pause her flourishing career to cherish family moments after the arrival of their third child, Millie. What she anticipated would be a prolonged maternity leave became nearly a four year career pause. During this time, she fully immersed herself in life with her husband and three children, Knox, Andrew, and Millie, knowing that these precious years weren’t a time she could ever get back.
Recently, Caroline has expanded her passion for interior design into offline projects, assisting clients in transforming their homes. She leverages her fashion industry expertise—emphasizing creativity, style, functionality, trends, textures, and color pallets—in her design projects.
Looking forward, Caroline is excited to reconnect with HOUSE of HARPER in the upcoming year, sharing her evolving journey while blending the old with the new, and continuing to inspire women in a fresh yet familiar way.
