  • Lily Camina-Vick grew up around the design and construction business, working in her father’s Pinehurst office since 2000 and visiting construction projects on Bald Head Island during her summers there as a child. She attended North Carolina State University where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Economics in 2007. After college, Lily came to work for her father to look after job costs and billing. 

    Lily fell into the designing role in 2009 after learning AutoCAD on her own, beginning the build of her first design in 2010 and has stayed in the lead role ever since. She obtained her contractors license in 2019 and is now the owner of Camina Design & Construction, specializing in a total design and building package for architecturally designed homes in the Pinehurst and surrounding areas. As of 2025 she has designed and built 46 custom homes, 13 additions, and 4 commercial buildings. 

    In 2008 Lily met Matt Vick, of Franklin, Tennessee, here on a golf trip to Pinehurst. They married on Bald Head Island in 2014 and have two children, Remy and Paloma, to keep them busy.
