Sims Patrick Studio

What Sims Patrick Studio does

Sims Patrick Studio (SPS) is a privately held, full-service interior architectural design firm founded in 1999 by Libby Patrick and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm delivers end-to-end interior design services spanning project management, programming and space planning, brand and identity interpretation, conceptual and schematic design, design development, CAD-based construction documents, FF&E specifications and procurement documentation, bidding and negotiation, construction and procurement administration, and furniture and artwork installation. Its practice is anchored in boutique hospitality interior design but also serves retail environments, corporate and office headquarters, luxury residential, historic preservation and adaptive reuse, and large-scale mixed-use developments.

The firm operates as a boutique professional services practice with 11-50 employees and no disclosed external capital, parent company, or institutional ownership. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement, primarily through long-standing relationships with major hospitality brands — Hilton, Marriott, IHG, Hyatt, and Sonesta — and institutional owners and operators including Davidson Hospitality, Park Hotels & Resorts, McKibbon Hospitality, Noble Investment, and Paramount Hospitality Management, supplemented by referrals, project inquiries via its website, and speaking visibility at industry events such as NeoCon, HD Expo, and IIDA. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-based professional services fees with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or recurring subscription model.

The firm is led by Founder and CEO Libby Patrick alongside two principals, Jenny Rutledge (Design + Construction) and Melissa Wylie (Design + Operations), and has recently expanded its senior bench with multiple project directors, a design director, and a dedicated business development director. Notable operational markers include NCIDQ, LEED-AP, and IIDA certifications on staff, a strategic partnership with Blue Lantern Studios for food-and-beverage design, a 26-year track record of award-winning work featured in Architectural Record, Boutique Design, and Hospitality Design, and active projects spanning the U.S. Southeast, Northeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Canada.
