Sometimes you have to live in a house for a while before you truly understand what “jobs” you need each space to do. That was the case for the small upstairs loft in our new-build condo. My daughter and I needed that tiny space to be a library, home school, tv room, guest sleeping area, and laundry center. No small task. Chris and his team came in with clever solutions - everything in the space is designed to do more than one job, and the custom design elements are both delightful and functional. The collaboration on style and color choices was easy, because Chris listened to my ideas and took cues from existing decor. This was way more than a renovation project for us - Chris and his team helped make our house a home.

Chris and his team are amazing! I ordered some pretty low-quality stick on wallpaper. They warned me it was not ideal, but turned lemons into lemonade! This is the second project they've done for me and I keep coming back because I'm so pleased. Thank you!

Chris and Hunt were great to work with! We are so happy with how our accent wall turned out, and we appreciated Chris guiding us through the design process and helping us confidently make decisions, taking into account the entire space. Additionally, we first contacted Chris only a few weeks before my due date and they were able to move quickly to get the project done before I went into labor. Highly recommend this team for all of your design needs, big or small!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
3D renderings are FREE with hire. As well as consultations and home visits. However, I unfortunately do not have the luxury to drive around town in Austin traffic giving away free information and FREE design work. That being said my consults are $79 with visit. And my design work is package based. Please note, my consult fee JUST covers the cost of my lead to reach out to you through the app. We loose money and time to come and talk with you. So we just ask that you know and honor that please.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
B.A in Design. 5+ years owning my own company.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Anyone can say they know how to do something. But the work speaks for itself. Reviews and pictures are clearest metric for deciding on a pro.
