Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia Chappell Loudermilk was exposed to beautiful, well-executed spaces at a young age, providing the groundwork for her career in the design world. Interning for Huff-Dewberry, LLC in high school, Chappell went on to attend the University of Georgia and earned her BS in Furnishings & Interiors. During her time there she spent time in Florence, Italy studying art and architecture. In 2014, she moved to New York City, interning for the prestigious Cullman & Kravis Inc. before joining AD100 design firm S.R. Gambrel Inc. Here she served as a designer and project manager at the firm for projects in Manhattan, Chicago, the Hamptons, Malibu, the Bahamas, Florida and private boats. Working closely with Steven Gambrel formulated her fresh approach to color and composition in creating spaces that reflect, support and enhance the lifestyles of today, while embracing the history of each individual home. In 2022, Chappell partnered with fellow S.R. Gambrel veteran Zeke Jordan, launching their firm Loudermilk Jordan, LLC.

Born and raised on the South Carolina coast, Zeke Jordan saw the rapid development of the area firsthand, shaping his early interest in architecture and design. While attending Asheville School in North Carolina, Zeke apprenticed under architect John Yurko for one term. Zeke then studied at Tulane University in New Orleans where he obtained his undergraduate and graduate degrees in architecture, along with minor degrees in historic preservation, art history, and urban studies. During his summers, Zeke interned for design-build firm SYNCinc Architecture in Vienna, Austria for three consecutive years. Around this time, Zeke also spent six months in Rome, where he studied under architect and architectural theory author Marcella del Signore. Upon graduating from Tulane, Zeke worked with contemporary architect and designer Lee Ledbetter, a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. It was through Lee that Zeke began applying his background in architecture to interior design. In 2012, Zeke moved to New York to work with AD100 interior designer, Frank de Biasi. His projects with Frank included private homes in California, Philadelphia, and Morocco, as well as a restaurant in the St. James neighborhood of London. In 2014, Zeke joined the interior design team of S.R. Gambrel, Inc., where he designed and managed projects in Florida, Coastal South Carolina, Chicago, Texas, Philadelphia, New York, and California. At the beginning of 2022, Zeke partnered with Chappell Loudermilk to form Loudermilk Jordan, LLC.
