ROBERT LINGO

Robert “Rob” Lingo is the founder of Studio Lingo. His passion for physical craft began while woodworking alongside his grandfather at a young age and later evolved into building custom homes with his uncle. After earning his degree in Architecture from Virginia Tech in 2013, he spent five years at the award-winning Lake Flato Architects in San Antonio, TX, honing his design expertise. Seeking a renewed connection to the build process, he spent the next seven years as a Superintendent at Troy Jessee Construction, leading complex, multi-million dollar projects in collaboration with many well renowned architects. Now based in his native Sussex County, DE, Rob leads a creative studio offering a uniquely comprehensive approach - uniting custom residential design, construction consultation, and bespoke furniture making under one hood.
