Meet Aaron Autry! He was born in Fayetteville, NC, but has lived most of his life in a small, rural South Carolina town. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Architecture from Clemson University, and he officially became a licensed architect in 2023. When he’s not working, you’ll find him hanging at home with his wife, their new baby girl, and their dogs. He also loves hitting the golf course with friends and adding to his ever growing vinyl collection. ⁠

We are happy to have Aaron on our team!

Swipe through the staircase at The Lookout- a steel and walnut custom design that echoes the board and batten walls. The wall seamlessly transforms around the corner at the lower level. Minimal design, maximum impact.⁠
