Abbie Gentry - Designer and Construction Admin
Abbie became interested in the concept of design-build as undergrad at Clemson University.

The process also taught her the value of collaboration. She joined the Meadors team in 2016 and spent the majority of her first year on site gaining field experience and learning from the different trades. After transitioning to the office, she is excited to apply that knowledge to projects and to continue learning from the different workshops. Outside of the office, her time is most often spent reading or traveling.
