Your house isn't too small. The layout is the problem.
I'm Heather. I'm a licensed architect, and I help everyday homeowners figure out what's actually wrong with their house, so they can fix the right problem instead of spending thousands on the wrong renovation.

If any of this sounds like your house, keep reading.
Every flat surface in your house is covered in stuff that has nowhere else to go. The mail on the kitchen island. The Amazon boxes on the dining table. The pile of shoes by the door.
You dread having people over because you have to deep-clean the entire house first. The kids' bathroom. The laundry room. The bedrooms. Anywhere a guest might wander.
Mornings feel like a small war. You walk between rooms ten times before 8am. Someone forgot their backpack, again. The kitchen feels too small even though you know it isn't.
You've tried the bins. You've Pinterest'd the mudroom ideas. You've rearranged the furniture twice. And your house still doesn't work.
You're not bad at this. Your house just isn't set up to support how you actually live.
That's a flow problem. And it's fixable.
I'm a licensed architect with 13 years of experience and 5 houses I've personally renovated and lived through. Here's something most homeowners don't know: flow is one of the fundamentals of architecture. How you move through your home during the routines you repeat every day (mornings, cooking, hosting, bedtime) is the thing that quietly makes a house feel easy or exhausting to live in.
The catch is that this kind of thinking usually comes with a full custom architecture price tag. So that's the gap I built my business to fill. I bring the same training to your house, focused on the one thing that changes daily life the most, and the fix is almost always more affordable than you'd fear.

The 950 sq ft house
Michaela was about to give up on her tiny first home and start house hunting. After we redesigned the layout (without adding a single square foot), she texted me: "It's such a game changer. This whole house, everything just works."

The addition that almost missed the point
Josh and Ashley were ready to spend $50K on an addition for two new bedrooms. The addition would have solved one problem and created three more. We redesigned it and used the same square footage to fix their entire house at once.

The Expensive Fixer Upper
My in-laws wanted to buy a fixer upper to flip. But the one they wanted was $100K cheaper than the one I suggested... and it would have cost 3x that to fix up. After walking through both, and laying out the plans & numbers, they saw the more expensive Fixer Upper was actually cheaper.
