Weāre thrilled to share the sweetest news! Ivy Mae has joined the Interior Elements family! Born to our amazing Dianne Boltin and her husband, Ivy Mae is healthy, happy, and already bringing so much joy.
We couldnāt be more excited for Dianne and her family, and weāre so glad to have her back with us to share in all the baby love. Welcome to the world, Ivy Mae!
Justin Dike and his wife, Sarah Barringer, are celebrating the arrival of their baby girl! Both mom and daughter are healthy and doing great, and their family is soaking up every sweet moment together.
Weāre so excited for Justin and Sarah as they step into this new adventure, and we send our warmest congratulations to the happy family!
Nothing makes us prouder than seeing our IE family in action, both at work and at home.
As the new school year begins, many of you shared photos of your kids heading back to class, full of excitement, new backpacks, and big smiles. Itās a reminder that behind every project and every client success, there are families who inspire us daily.
Hereās to a great year ahead for all the students, parents, and teachers in our IE family!
From āI doāsā to āyesās,āour IE family has had so much to celebrate lately!
Weddings and engagements remind us that lifeās sweetest moments happen beyond the office, and we couldnāt be happier for our teammates who are finding love, building families, and writing new chapters.
Hereās to love, laughter, and all the joy that comes with saying forever.
The IE family keeps getting bigger! Weāre excited to welcome several new faces across our markets, including two talented staff accountants, a new VP joining our Charleston team, and fresh design talent in both Birmingham and Winston-Salem.
Each new teammate brings unique skills and energy, and we canāt wait to see the impact theyāll make as we continue to grow and serve our clients. Welcome aboard!

From happy hours and pickle ball matches to community service days and team outings, thereās never a dull moment at Interior Elements.
Our offices keep a full calendar of events that bring people together, build stronger connections, and remind us that work is about more than projects ā itās about people.
Whether weāre cheering each other on, giving back to the community, or just having fun, these moments strengthen the IE family and make our culture truly one of a kind.
As summer winds down, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible contributions of our interns, Madeline Thornton (Charlotte) and Lindsay Agena (Birmingham). Both jumped right ināsupporting design teams, learning the ins and outs of project management, and bringing fresh creativity to everything they touched.
Madeline and Lindsay head back to Auburn University this fall to continue their studies in the College of Human Sciences, and we couldnāt be prouder of the work they did during their time with us. Their energy, curiosity, and talent made a real impact, and weāre excited to see what they accomplish next.
A big thank-you to both of them for a summer well spentāweāll be cheering you on from IE!
How long have you been with IE?
I have been with IE since November of 2021.
Do you have a nickname?
Growing up everyone, including my teachers, called me by my last name. It was either Irvin or Irv.
Where are you originally from?
I was born and raised in Danville, IL.
Where did you go to high school/college?
I went to Danville High School and then after the Navy I went to Aquila Aviation and learned how to fly helicopters.
Tell us about your family.
I am married to my beautiful, wonderful, I donāt know how she deals with me wife, Jessica, and I have 4 children. Madalyn (13), Lilly (12), Callen (2) and Bella (1).
What is your favorite thing IE?
I enjoy walking into an empty space, then being able to see what has been built at the end of the day and seeing the clients reaction to it.
What advice would you give a new person at IE?
Donāt be afraid to ask questions or ask for help from any market. Everyone is willing to help and wants you to be successful.
Favorite Band?
I listen to a lot of different music but if I had to pick one I would say Flogging Molly.
Worst of First Job?
Right after high school while I was waiting to go to boot camp I worked at a corn seed manufacturer. I basically just stood in a cage and stacked bags on a pallet that came off a conveyor belt for 10 hours a day. The corn seed dust everywhere made it worse.
I enjoy making and turning things on my wood lathe. Such as bottle stoppers, pens, and bowls.
Favorite books or movie?
Well I donāt read much, ācause I mean they will make it into a movie anyways, so Iāll just wait for that. I canāt name any one favorite movie but all the 90ās/2000ās comedies like, Happy Gilmore, Old School, Tropic Thunder, etcā¦ā¦
What would your wife say that we donāt know about you?
I have a big tendency to answer questions and comments with movie quotes or breaking out into a song with said comment. For example: She would say, āCallen is really using his imaginationā to which I respond with singing: āJust my imagination, running away with meā¦ā Secretly, she loves it.
Abig shoutout to Crystal Doss, Kaitlyn Peeler, and David Doss for their outstanding work on The Upland, a multifamily project in Washington, DC. Partnering with the team at Michael Graves Architecture, they collaborated seamlessly from design through installation to deliver a space that reflects both style and functionality.
Weāre proud of the creativity and teamwork that made this project a success!
Big thanks to all who helped!
