We know it sounds cliché…but at LMG, we really are more than just coworkers–we are a family. We celebrate each other’s wins, hold each other accountable, and genuinely care for each other. The way we interact with one another shapes the way we interact with our clients. We strive to create a culture of openness, respect, and accountability in every scenario.
Openness | Respect | Accountability
Our Culture Makes the Difference
We like helping people, we’re passionate about making architecture approachable for everyone, and we love solving design problems. All of these factors are clear throughout our process. Our clients can sense that we enjoy what we do and that we like helping them do it. We’re not perfect. But when things don’t go according to plan, we put our heads together and figure out a solution that works.
With us, what you see is what you get. No smoke screens, no gimmicks, and absolutely no stuffy “well-that’s-just-what-we’ve-always-done” ideas. We’re the real deal—and after just one meeting, we think you’ll be able to tell.

Lindsay’s 14 years of experience in programming and feasibility studies, land planning, architecture, interior design, and visual materials, like sketches and renderings for marketing and presentations, make her sort of a jack-of-all-trades at LMG. Her degrees—a B.A. in design and Master’s of Architecture—have opened doors for her to do a little bit of everything over the years. She has lent her skills to projects in Aiken, SC, Greenville, and Charlotte.
Lindsay is incredibly detail-oriented and thorough. If she can’t find the answer, she will find someone who does. When she isn’t in the office, Lindsay enjoys spending time with her family hiking, traveling, sketching, and going to Clemson Football games.

Amy has over 15 years of experience with both commercial (retail and K-12 education) and residential projects (including landscape and pool / water feature design). After getting her degree from Clemson University, she started her career in Atlanta, Georgia. A move to Orlando, Florida led Amy to a job with the City of Orlando as their Historic Preservation Officer – all while pursuing her Master’s degree at the University of Florida. Amy’s duties centered around coordinating approvals from the Historic Preservation Board as well as enforcing Standards for Historic Properties set by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. Her time there offered Amy a rewarding experience collaborating with both homeowners and developers on their designs for landmark properties and properties within historic districts.
More recently, Amy has worked for herself as a residential designer, and with several other companies focusing on single-family residential interior, exterior and site design. When not at work, Amy enjoys being outside, yoga, road cycling with her husband, and hanging out with her two Clemson boys. GO TIGERS!
