The Story and Inspiration Behind this New Brand
Caroline Johnson
Founder of Mahj Tile Haus
Caroline Johnson’s journey has been anything but ordinary.
She began her career behind the lens as a professional photographer, traveling to breathtaking destinations across the globe, from the vineyards of California, to the coastline of Italy, the stunning beaches of Costa Rica and Belize, and the bustling vibes of New York City. Her work took her into the heart of fashion, photographing at New York Fashion Week and capturing stories through her unique artistic eye.
A Seattle native who has called Florida home for over 25 years, Caroline’s path shifted after a profound personal loss. Returning to her healthcare roots, she spent the past 12 years commercializing life-saving medications in the U.S. as a VP of a Fortune 10 company, bringing innovation and hope to patients in need. She also deepened her commitment to advancing the field, serving as Advisory Board Chair for the University of Central Florida’s Healthcare Informatics program, where she earned her Master’s degree.
When she moved to Florida’s stunning Emerald Coast along 30A, Caroline took a chance on Mahjong. She quickly discovered that the game was more than strategy and tiles. It became a source of joy, a spark for creativity, and the foundation for the most authentic friendships. What began as a pastime soon transformed into a passion, igniting her vision to blend artistry, community, and couture design.
Launching Mahj Tile Haus
Today, Caroline fuses her global perspective, artistic sensibility, and commercial drug launch experience into this elegant brand launch, Mahj Tile Haus. Her Mahjong collections embody elevated sophistication with a coastal soul, reflecting both her life journey and the refined vision she is bringing to the table.
Beyond her entrepreneurial pursuits, Caroline serves on the board of Tina’s Warriors, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals navigating complex oncology journeys. She is also a proud mother to Riley, an Ole Miss student with aspirations as bold as her own. Life on 30A is filled with the company of her two beloved dogs, Sydney, a Goldendoodle, and Pixie, a Pomeranian mix, and supported by the love of Mark, her greatest champion in both life and business.
At Mahj Tile Haus, Caroline has created more than a brand. She has built a lifestyle where design, play, and storytelling meet in timeless elegance.
