This morning our team took a trip to visit the showroom and workshop at Skylar Morgan Furniture.
Seeing the level of intricacy, craftsmanship, and intention behind every custom piece was so inspiring. The quality, creativity, and pure talent that go into their millwork and furniture truly set them apart.
We’re so grateful to partner with a team whose knowledge, skill, and experience consistently bring our designs to life. We left feeling inspired, energized, and even more excited about what we’re creating together.

Three of our designers returned to the University of Georgia’s Lamar Dodd School of Art to speak with the senior Interior Design class about our firm, our work, and each of their experiences in the industry. As UGA alumni from this program, the visit was especially meaningful and rewarding as they shared guidance, reflected on their own journeys, and answered students’ questions as they prepare to step into the industry.
Thank you to the UGA Interior Design faculty and students for the warm welcome and thoughtful discussion. We are so inspired by this next generation of designers.

Our 5th edition of “Creative Canvas”, where we highlight our studio’s creative talent and inspiration. From Interior Designer & Associate, Caroline Walker, “Being a crazy dog lady is core to my identity. From the day we brought home our first family dog, I vowed never to go dogless again—and one spaniel, five golden retrievers, and two labradors later, I’ve stayed true to my word, thanks to my fellow dog-loving family and my role as a volunteer puppy raiser with the Guide Dog Foundation.

Equally central to who I am, is my love of art, illustration, and all things creative—a passion that led me to a career in interior design at ai3. Eventually my creative and canine worlds collided, as I began illustrating my dogs—first as gifts and personal mementos, then as something more. As a puppy raiser for GDF, these drawings became a cathartic ritual, a way to honor each dog I raise. I spend their first ~18 months loving, guiding, and preparing each pup—then, with equal parts pride and heartbreak, I say goodbye and send them on to become service dogs for visually impaired individuals and disabled veterans. These illustrations help me celebrate our time together and preserve a piece of each dog long after they graduate.

At ai3, my two greatest passions have been encouraged to flourish—from welcoming the service dogs I’ve raised into the ai3 family, to championing my illustrative work during my sabbaticals. The way these passions now coexist fills my cup in a way that my younger self would be proud of, and I’m beyond grateful to work with people who celebrate them so wholeheartedly.”

Playful and eclectic, natural yet tailored, and evoking a comforting sense of nostalgia: YAVA Kitchen and Brewhouse is a place where stories are shared, freshness of offerings and quality of service is paramount, and the sense of community is as palpable as the heat of the flames off a lakeside campfire.

Located in the Westshore community near Lake Lanier, YAVA brings together a thoughtfully curated dining experience and locally crafted, high-quality beer within an expansive interior that welcomes more than 300 guests. Warm wood tones, an abundance of natural light, cozy seating, dramatic ceilings, and a central hearth create a relaxed yet refined destination for locals and lake-goers alike.

Welcome to our 4th edition of “Creative Canvas,” where we highlight our studio’s creative talent and inspiration. From Partner | Co-Founder Lucy Aiken-Johnson, “Cooking is an act of love, a way for me to connect and nourish family and friends, to get lost in a recipe, swirling my spoon around in a big pot of something wonderful. It’s essential to my being, and now my cookbooks outnumber my design monographs...

My gardens have provided another living canvas, a place to layer color, texture, and scale in design. Vegetables and flowers have become a natural extension of my passion and further connecting me to nature. I’ve embraced my parents’ love of gardening wholeheartedly and adopted my mother’s perseverance in which there always lies a learning opportunity (in my dead plants).

My Perfect Combo of Cooking + Gardening =
“Tempura Squash Blossoms” stuffed with my homemade ricotta, lemon zest and fresh basil… Just ask Quint and Patrick 😊

Peaceful. Meditative. Mindful. Connected to the rhythm of life.

These passions will continue to fill my soul for as long as I can stand at the stove and bend over to dig my fingers in the dirt.

Road Trip! Construction on the 231-key expansion to Hotel Indigo Tallahassee is nearly complete in Florida’s capital city. The addition connects to the existing hotel with a three-story rod-and-tensile steel and glass bridge, while naturally patinaed Cor-ten steel façade elements unite the old and new architecture. Once complete, hotel guests will soak in the panoramic views of the FSU campus and the CollegeTown neighborhood from their guestrooms. GO NOLES!!

Welcome to our 3rd edition of the “Creative Canvas” series, where we highlight our studio’s creative talent and inspiration. This week we feature Partner | Co-Founder Patrick Johnson. For over 20 years now, Patrick has been on his artistic journey, searching his soul for answers and meaning and expressing these moments through his art. Painting first started as a way of remembering and documenting his childhood, but as he’s grown as an artist, he also explores life’s balance (or lack thereof), loss, humanity, and purpose. Enjoy his beautiful work ❤️
