We’re a team of friends going back as far as the mid ’90s in Southeast Portland. We started working together in the summer of 2020, in Erin’s backyard. From day one our focus has been to empower better living for us and our clients and communities.

We treat every project as an important, collaborative exercise in methodical design from the ground up. Meet our team:

Before embarking on her role as home designer and CEO, Erin spent 10 years in global manufacturing & engineering. She is a certified Sustainable Homes Professional through Earth Advantage. Erin was trained in Residential Design and Building Construction Technology at Portland Community College.

Passionate about the daily positive impact a consolidated and organized space brings, Erin lives in a 250 SF converted garage minihouse.
