You are unique. You have something to say. We believe design can better the world when it distinctively reflects all that you have to say (or state) and inspires you to be the best version of yourself (your state).

Meredith Larson
DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS
With a degree in Architecture from Mississippi State University, Meredith went on to a leadership role in a Fortune 5000 company. While there, she and Laura met riding the elevator (let's just say that elevator was slow!) and there was time to catch up and commune over their shared passion for design. Meredith went on to be a 2x client of State's, prior to joining State in 2023 to run the operations side of the business.
