The history of Carmel Design is one that was started on a strong foundation due to the proper experience and skills that were taught to Rafi when he began his craft. Rafi Berdugo was born in Meknes, Morocco and moved to Israel at the age of 2. After finishing the army at the age of 18, Rafi Berdugo was the 2nd officer part of the ZIM line ships. After five years of working on the ship he arrived to the United States where he started working with his brother in interior design in 1980. 

He first started off as a painter and wallpaper hanger for interior design jobs.  In 1983 he decided to branch off on his own and start Carmel Wall Décor.  He had the privilege to begin his craft by working for some of the biggest interior designers in South Florida. From West Palm Beach, Boca, Pompano to Miami, Rafi Berdugo was the guy for the job.  In 1986, he knew he was ready to expand into other avenues and started doing renovations, kitchens, baths, flooring, electrical and plumbing. 

In 1987 Rafi was hired by EXPO Design Center to do all the remodeling for them. He was an asset to EXPO for 10 years.  He changed Carmel Wall Décor to Carmel Design. Carmel Design started off with just one person, Rafi Berdugo. A few years later it expanded to two employees and he now has six professional, licensed and insured employees who each have a special skill set to offer and perform at an optimal level. Rafi Berdugo has a passion for home design and has an eye for construction that not many people have. He provides excellent client care and appreciation of his employees and their work. Rafi is a family man at heart and it was love at first sight when he met his Canadian wife. Rafi has two children, Dahlia 29 and Joshua 25. His other love of his life is his dog Sonny.
