MEET MICHAEL STERN / PROYE

Built on knowledge. Driven by passion.
My background brings together university studies in building engineering technology and training in interior design. That combination shapes how I work: I care just as much about how a home is built as how it looks and feels.
As a licensed general contractor in both South Carolina and North Carolina, I have completed many projects and helped clients turn their ideas into spaces they love. Through Proye design and built, I bring design and construction together in one place.
I genuinely love design and styling, but working closely with my clients is what makes the process meaningful. I enjoy listening to their ideas, understanding their needs, and finding the details that make a home feel personal.
MY GOAL IS SIMPLE
A happy client, and a home they love.
Whether it is an interior refresh, a kitchen or bathroom renovation, an addition, or a custom home, my focus stays the same: thoughtful design, careful execution, and a result that reflects you.
Technical foundation
University studies in building engineering technology.
Design perspective
Interior design training and a passion for styling.
