Our Story

I started designing homes more than 35 years ago, before 3D modeling was even thought of in residential design. I opened my first design firm in Dallas in 2002, and in 2013 my wife and I moved to the Oklahoma City metro for a slower pace of life and a chance to focus on what I love most: designing homes for families.

Today our team in Guthrie has completed more than 1,000 designs for clients across the United States and Canada. We’re known nationally for barndominium design, and we bring the same care to custom homes, modern farmhouses, and ICF homes.

What hasn’t changed is why I do this work. Too many people build a house they never fully understood until the walls went up, then pay for it in change orders and regret. Our Home Empowerment Process™ exists to prevent that. You’ll walk through your home in 3D before construction begins, we’ll align your design decisions with real construction costs early, and you’ll leave with builder-ready plans you can hand to any qualified contractor.


We also have a sister building company, Fry Custom Homes, for local builds, but you don't have to use it. Our job is to advocate for your design, whoever builds it.

I’m a Certified Professional Building Designer, I serve on the national board of the American Institute of Building Design, and our work has earned design awards year after year through the American Residential Design Awards. Those honors matter to me because they reflect one simple idea: design it right, before you build.

Designed Around Your Life


Every design starts with a conversation about how you live: who’s in the house, how you cook and gather, where the morning light should land. We listen first, then design a home that fits your land, your family, and your budget.


35+ Years of Real-World Experience


With more than 35 years in residential design and over 1,000 designs completed, we know how homes actually get built. That experience shows up in the details builders appreciate and homeowners live with every day.


Honest About Cost


Budget surprises are the most common regret in home building. We align your design decisions with real construction costs from the start, and our stock plans offer a proven, builder-ready option starting at $1,299.


See It Before You Build It


We model your home in 3D so you can walk through every room before a single board is cut. Moving a wall on screen takes minutes. Moving it on site can cost thousands.
