Meet the Team
Design is collaborative so having a creative team to support, motivate, encourage, and design with is a very important part of our process. We work hard together, and we play hard together as well – often sharing meals, celebrations, and personal milestones as a group. Relationships are an important component to seamless design; no matter who your lead designer is, we are all here for you and are all a part of your team.
Our Team
Patricia Walpole
Senior Interior Designer
Studio Manager
Patricia strives to design remarkable interiors that combine beauty and function. She has an innate understanding of how to integrate proportion and aesthetic to create dynamic and innovative spaces.
Growing up Patricia always maintained a love for art and design. After graduating from the University of Kentucky with a major in Interior Design and a minor in Art History, she went back to her roots and worked for five years designing homes in Charleston, SC. She is now living in downtown Greenville, and we feel lucky to have her on the LH team.
An interesting fact about Patricia is that she won a National Championship at UCA Nationals with the University of Kentucky Cheerleading squad in 2014. Being a part of a team of high-level athletes was an invaluable lesson in collaboration and communication. She now uses these skills to coordinate with the architects and project managers to create beautiful custom homes.
What I love most about design?
Excellent design should have the ability to transform a house into a home that is both beautiful and practical. A home should reflect the personality of its owners, making it as memorable and unique as its family. The possibilities are endless, and it is exciting to have the opportunity to select a combination of lighting, color, and texture that works harmoniously, and speaks to the client. Being able to see my ideas come to life on a large scale in custom homes has only deepened my passion for design.
Olivia Coates
Interior Designer
Drafting Specialist
Olivia graduated from Anderson University in 2022 with a BFA in Interior design and was an active member of the American Society for Interior Designers throughout college. She is our AutoCad specialist with an incredible eye for detail, which, combined with her beautiful design work, makes her a crucial part of the LH Design team.
Originally from Houston, Olivia has made the Upstate her home since college. Outside of work, she cherishes spending time with her husband and their adorable baby boy. Their household includes two beloved pets: a cat named “cat” and a dog named Charlie. Olivia’s creative spirit extends to her love for cooking and baking in her free time. Her ideal day includes unwinding by reading a book or relaxing at the beach.
Savanna Morris
Junior Interior Designer
Logistics and Asset Manager
Savanna graduated from North Greenville University in 2020. She began her career working in the front office of our parent company, Gabriel Builders, but her attention to design detail was quickly noticed and she was able to move to LH Design Studio where she assists the designers. Savanna is a real asset to the design team, always willing to help out with a smile on her face.
Savanna is married to her high school sweetheart who is a high school football coach and lifelong UGA fan, so football is a big part of their lives. In addition to the Thursday and Friday high school games, they love going to Athens on Saturdays in the fall. They also have a dog they’re obsessed with named Kirby. (Go Dawgs!)
Savanna likes to garden and work outdoors, and although she doesn’t get to do it often enough, she loves spending time with her mom either antique shopping or going to brunch.

Favorite quotes:
To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.
Being positive won’t guarantee you’ll succeed. But being negative will guarantee you won’t.
I am never in control of what happens around me, but I am always in control of what happens within me.
Favorite Verse:
Ephesians 4:32 – “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”
