FOR MY INTERNSHIP I AM WORKING AT LAKE AND LAND STUDIO, A BOUTIQUE, TAILORED DESIGN COMPANY. LAKE AND LAND DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM UNIQUE PROPERTIES, LOCAL VERNACULAR, AND CLIENTS. LAKE AND LAND STUDIO DESIGNS RESIDENCES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES, WITH A PRIMARY FOCUS ON HOMES IN BIG BAY LAKE, LUMBERTON, MISSISSIPPI, AND CRANE ISLAND, FLORDIA. NOTIBLY, THEY ALSO DESIGNED THE ACCLAIMED 2023 SOUTHERN LIVING IDEA HOUSE, SHOWCASING THEIR EXPERTISE AND CREATIVITY IN RESIDENTIAL DESIGN.

THE LAKE AND LAND TEAM IS COMPRISED OF LUKE SIPPEL, BILL HOLLOWAY, MATT JORDAN, CORI WILLIAMS, TIM LAIRD, AND JUSTIN WILLIAMS. PARTNER AND LEAD DESIGNER, LUKE SIPPEL, GRADUATED IN 2011 WITH A DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURAL/ ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI. PARTNER AND LEAD DESIGNER, BILL HOLLOWAY, GRADUATED IN 2006 WITH A BACHELOR OF ARCHITECTURE FROM MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY.

WORKING AT LAKE AND LAND STUDIO LAST SUMMER AND THROUGH THE SCHOOL YEAR AS AN INTERIOR DESIGN INTERN HAS BEEN AN INVALUABLE EXPERIENCE THAT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY SHAPED MY APPROACH TO INTERIOR DESIGN. AS I CONTINUE MY WORK AT LAKE AND LAND STUDIO, I HOPE TO GAIN DEEPER KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTADING IN REGARD TO THE INTERIOR DESIGN WORLD.
