About Us

Carlson CAD Solutions is a new name, but we have a long history as a software reseller focused on sales of Carlson Software‘s desktop solutions for the land surveying, civil design and construction industries.

 

In 2024, That CAD Girl launched Carlson CAD Solutions as a new division to focus on sales of Carlson Software in order to allow Jennifer DiBona, and That CAD Girl, to focus on support and training of CAD and Carlson Software.

 

The relationship between the two companies is best described as “trusted partners” with That CAD Girl providing support and training for customers of Carlson CAD Solutions. That CAD Girl will begin developing new trusted partnerships in the interest of supporting new and experienced users of CAD and Carlson Software.

 

It’s a transition… in progress… so stay tuned! When all the dust settles, we hope our past and future customers will see this as a better all-around experience.

How That CAD Girl Can Help You

Whether it’s training, tech support or consulting, That CAD Girl can fulfill the “trusted advisor” role for your organization and make recommendations that are best for you – regardless of the software or other consultants you are currently working with. Since it’s what we sell, the initial questions are usually about Carlson Software and the answer is often a move to that software.
 
Our live, interactive webinars are included with every software purchase and, if more personalized training is needed, we can provide the expertise you need to make the transition as smooth as possible. In short, That CAD Girl will help you buy what you need and use what you buy.

Jen Dibona Headshot

Jennifer DiBona is a long-time CAD consultant and trainer doing business as That CAD Girl. She is based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
 
Many years ago when working in civil engineering and land surveying offices, she found herself working primarily with men (naturally). Since she was the only “girl” in the office, clients or others asking for her would often simply ask for “That CAD Girl”. The name stuck.
 
Jennifer has a degree in Surveying and worked in various consulting offices for approximately 15 years. After her time working as a designer and drafter, she then worked for an Autodesk reseller as a Civil 3d Implementation Certified Expert (ICE) and built their technical services division from the ground up.
 
Jennifer is one of the charter members of Carlson College which is the certified program for authorized Carlson Software trainers and she also wrote the “CAD Picks and Clicks” column for Professional Surveyor Magazine.
 
Jennifer was previously a member of the Steering Committee for Version 6 of the National CAD Standard® and served as Chair of the Survey/Civil Task Team and co-Chair of the CAD Layer Guidelines Task Team.

Claire DiBlasi – Chief of Operations

After 3 years of learning the ropes of CAD software sales with That CAD Girl, Claire DiBlasi is taking the helm at Carlson CAD Solutions. Claire has a BS in Business Management Information Systems and 18 years of IT industry experience. Most recently she has spent 5 years with the local school system.

From Claire:

In my IT career, one of the things I’ve loved the most is learning about a new industry and how the work flows. In my role, I supported that industry by supporting the systems that made that flow happen and allow their business to be successful.

Jennifer and I met several years ago through mutual friends, also in the surveying business. I found it very interesting to listen in as they talked shop occasionally. I even jumped in and helped with her end-of-year workshops from time to time. Fortunately for me, Jennifer decided she could use some help at That CAD Girl and I was only too happy to join her so I can finally learn more about how this industry works.

So far, 3 months in, it has been so much more than I ever thought it would be. I have so much to learn but hopefully I can at least be a cheerful voice on the phone or response to your email until I can learn enough to be a more valuable resource to you and your company’s success. I look forward to meeting and working with you all.
