When they review the firm's portfolio, potential new clients often point out that no two projects are the same. “People can tell that we really listen to our clients and deliver their aesthetic—a look and feel that will resonate with them and their family” rather than imposing his personal style, Austin explains. “I prefer not to repeat myself too often. I enjoy being driven in a different direction with each new client and I appreciate the challenge.”

Though his projects vary wildly in terms of aesthetics, Austin always approaches them the same way. Each one starts with a design consultation and a detailed lifestyle questionnaire, which asks clients everything from what they liked about their childhood home to what their biggest fear or unknown about the renovation may be. “I like to create an enjoyable experience for clients,” he asserts, “and I think the more personal and deep questions that you ask, the more information you're able to gather and understand them.”
