A Career Built on Understanding Home Design
As an architect, interior designer, and kitchen designer with over 35 years of experience, I've witnessed first-hand the joys and frustrations of home renovations. My journey began with a simple observation: despite my expertise, many clients struggled to achieve spaces they truly loved.
The Birth of The Austin Home Method®
This realisation sparked a mission to bridge the gap between professional knowledge and homeowner satisfaction. I developed The Austin Home Method®, named after my family, to honor the influence of my architect father and fashion designer mother. This method is the cornerstone of my approach to helping homemakers discover their unique design DNA.
Overcoming Early Challenges
My journey wasn't without challenges. Early in my career, I spent countless unpaid hours trying to understand my clients' deep-rooted needs and unconscious desires. While this approach yielded beautiful results, it wasn't sustainable. I knew there had to be a better way.
Empowering Homemakers Through Technology
Through years of refining my process and embracing new technologies, I've created a system that empowers homemakers to unlock their design potential. This ebook shares that journey through the eyes of hundreds of my clients, combined with insights from hundreds of thousands of homemakers globally who have experienced these same challenges. It's a guide to help you avoid the pitfalls I've seen countless times and create a home that truly reflects your personality and enhances your well-being.
