Tyler is a Newberry, S.C. native and a 2019 graduate of the University of North Carolina Charlotte School for Arts + Architecture. While at UNC, he co-founded a business specializing in the design of furniture, advertising, and product and package design. During that time he also worked on the renovation of a 1950’s era single family home and focused on the framing, electrical, plumbing, and the finishing work.

“I really enjoyed how deconstructing an old home like this gives you a history of its past,” he says. “I’ve always been interested in the craftsmanship of old buildings, particularly the unused mill buildings you find here in the South.” Tyler says the Q+ team offers an opportunity for him to educate and inspire others from his Newberry community.

“The more homegrown talent you have, the more talent and impact it has on a community to foster residents’ interest in and understanding of spaces as both functional and as creative design.”
