Mrs. Jimmie Lynn Dykes, of Wingo Designs, is a landscape architect and jewelry maker. She spoke to students about careers in both fields. A landscape architect develops plans to improve the astethic of the landscape. Landscape architects can work for individual clients who want to impro
ve their yard or for corporations such as restaurants or hospitals.
Where did you study architecture?
I received a Bachelor of Art's in architecture from Clemson University and a Master's degree in landscape architecture from University of Georgia.
Did you have to do an apprenticeship or internship?
Yes. I was required to do a two year apprenticeship under a certified architect. All architects and landscape architects are required to do this.
What is the process like?
First I go to the client's home and talk with them to see what their needs are. I make measurements and then draw plans to blue print.
Are you responsible for planting the plants?
No. I draw up the plans only. A landscaping company will take care of planting.
What made you get into jewelry making?
I attended the John C. Campbell Folk School and took both silversmith and enamel jewelry making courses.
How long have you been making and selling your jewelry?
For five years now.
Where do you sell it?
At various art shows, galleries and on etsy.
