Project Team
Melissa Podoll
Director of Design
After graduating from North Dakota State University with a Bachelors in Interior Design and a minor in
Business and Facilities Management, Melissa Podoll started her career as an Interior Designer at Pigott,
a Herman Miller dealership in Des Moines, IA. After 5 years with Pigott, Melissa was ready to leave the
snow and cold behind for a great opportunity with JC White in sunny South Florida. Her level of
communication, collaboration and detail made her one of JC White’s top designers where she now
manages a team of 18.
She loves collaborating with clients, sales, architects and other designers to come up with the best
solutions for clients. “I enjoy detail-oriented work, which is required for our designs and specifications. I
also enjoy the teaching aspect of my position and educating others with the knowledge I have”.
Melissa enjoys working on corporate projects like American Express (completed in 2017) which was a
2500+ station project that included private offices and ancillary spaces. “This was a complex project
that required us to be very detailed and organized. We worked closely with the client to determine
their needs for the space and translated those needs into an efficient and functional yet inviting space.
We were able to be creative with our solutions and the client valued our partnership”.
