Lisa Marie Burwell sits with Melissa Skowlund, Owner & Principal Designer of Summer House Lifestyle, in her newly opened showroom at Watersound Origins. Melissa shares her journey into interior design, what inspired her to build a lifestyle brand centered around beautiful, livable spaces, and how she brings personality and purpose into every project.

Lisa and Michael talk about him launching a furniture business in 2009 during the height of the recession, expanding Stock & Trade with showrooms across the Southeast, and pouring into a cause that is very personal to his family, Harlan’s Place Foundation, where donations from their Gatsby Gala on October 4 will help create communities for individuals with Down syndrome and other disabilities.
