meet Corey.

Corey is a talented architect who joined our team after he and his family moved to Knoxville from Hawai'i. He earned his Bachelor of Arts & Architecture from Judson University and received his Doctor of Architecture from the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. Corey chose the field of architecture because he loves the opportunity to create and design spaces that serve and impact people's experience. He believes that architecture has the power to make a business thrive, events successful, and create an environment that supports a family’s security and love. “I like architecture because it is an opportunity to express and impact lives through the work we do of creating/designing,” he said. When asked what he loves the most about working at Studio Four Design, Corey said, “Everybody is nice and friendly; a smile is just a desk away.”

When he’s not immersed in the world of architecture, Corey is usually spending time with his wife and children and regularly leading worship at his church as a drummer. He loves the challenge of Escape Rooms, adventure sports, boating, and is always up for a game night.
