Looking at the sources they are all either trivial (small mention alongside many others[1]) or part of what looks like an ad[2][3]. Potentially the only source of note is a win in the fashion category of 2011s made in south awards in the Garden & Gun magazine.[4] That does seem to be quite specific when it comes to awards. Also the article in the magazine appears more ad than anything else and I haven't found many reliable secondary sources (i.e. outside the magazine) that mention it.[5][6] There is also a Southern Living mention,[7] which includes 51 other designers. Most of the article is unsourced and given the level of detail probably written by someone close to the subject. All in all I don't think this meets the WP:GNG.
