“Manning was the creative force behind the conception and realization of signature, national caliber designs and installations in all of the major, award winning facilities at Winthrop University throughout my 24-year tenure as President --- his ability to seamlessly blend unique, eye catching design elements with practicality and functionality is unmatched.”

Dr. Anthony J. DiGiorgio | President  | Winthrop University

“I have had the opportunity to collaborate with Manning Gibson on multiple projects at Winthrop University, including the Lois Rhame West Center and Carroll Hall. He has been one of my favorite designers to work with and my designs have benefited greatly from his creativity and enthusiasm. I greatly appreciate Manning’s strong design style from the overall concept down to the smallest interior details. His interior design skills complement the architecture and his style is modern, functional and exciting. Manning adds his own flair to every project making it a fun design process and an exceptional final product.”

"I was fortunate to be able to collaborate with Manning when I opened my law firm.  I have known Manning for a long time.  His ability to efficiently grasp and implement a design is amazing.  Clients and peers are always commenting on how spectacular the firm looks.  Manning’s insights created a space which reflects the firm culture that I was aiming to create.  I have always appreciated Manning’s interest in generating great results by matching high quality pieces with economical options.  Manning makes the process enjoyable and the outcome distinctive."

"The new Technology Incubator @ Knowledge Park was designated to be located on the top floor of a 1930 former bank building on Main Street in Rock Hill.  Manning was the designer and orchestrator of a total transformation of the floor into an open, collaborative, exciting, high-energy work space for start-up technology companies.  From the floor plan itself and use of light and color, to the personal touches and accent pieces, he has created a delightful and fun  environment  for our entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams and ambitions."

David J. Warner | Director | Technology Incubator @ Knowledge Park

"I have had the pleasure of working with Manning on several projects over the past several years. Every time, he exceeds our highest expectations, and he completes the project below budget!  I highly recommend Manning for any demanding project!"
