Mallory Stipe

Mallory Stipe has always had a passion and appreciation for beautiful and unique design. So it was no surprise that she followed that passion to Mississippi State University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. Mallory has worked for F.A. Hunter and Associates on several hotel projects including: Macon Marriott, Hotel Indigo Midtown, Hotel Indigo College Park, Cabot Lodge and Plantation Renaissance in Atlanta. Mallory started working at Protea Dekor in December 2009.

Protea Dekor is a full-service interior design boutique located in Ridgeland, MS. We are experienced in working with a variety of customer design preferences – whether traditional, eclectic, transitional or contemporary. We can develop a design plan from start to finish and implement it; or develop a plan for the customer who likes to “do it yourself” We can start from scratch or use the customer’s current décor and add pieces to add new interest. Visit us at our new boutique location!

Nicole Brown

Nicole brings energy and enthusiasm to every project. Her addition to the judge’s panel for this Parade will extend those excellent qualities through the judging process. Nicole has an eye for the unusual but yet has been taught not to stray from traditional design processes. Her education began at Mississippi College, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration/Marketing Major. She continued with Mississippi College 7 years later to receive her degree in Interior Design.

Nicole is currently working for Hal Brumfield at Brumfield Ward Architects in Ridgeland as a project manager and interior designer. While in her current position, she has had the opportunity to serve as lead designer on several projects including a new elderly apartment community - The Rose of Jackson, and several other tenant finish out spaces in the area. She also works outside the firm staging homes and offers residential design servies including holiday and party decorating.
