About the course

Most homemakers feel overwhelmed by endless choices, competing trends, and the fear of making a costly mistake.

You deserve for your space to be an ongoing source of joy every single day. Renovating should be exciting, but the stress often drains the joy right out of it. 

This course helps you get design fit and ready for your next project, ensuring you create a home you love—without the drama or the budget blowouts from wasteful rework. You will learn to use the proven Austin Home Design Method (AHDM), a step-by-step system I designed to eliminate indecision and prepare you for collaboration.

Using the AHDM, this course will help you:

✔ Define your unique design personality and cut through the noise of trends. ✔ Focus on one specific room (inside or out) to apply your new clarity immediately.

✔ Create inspirational workboards that illustrate your thoughts, dreams, and intentions.

✔ Complete a clear, confident design brief before the project begins.

The result? You graduate as the ideal client. You'll finally be able to talk to a builder, designer, or even your partner with authority and clarity, ensuring they execute your vision, not theirs. This preparation means your professional conversations are consistent and productive, preventing project stalls and ensuring the designer can immediately elevate your vision. The outcome is calm, confidence, fewer mistakes, and ongoing joy from your beautiful, authentic home.
