Where HGTV Meets
Venture Capital

I'm a PropTech founder building a company at the intersection of housing technology, construction, and the political forces that make housing more expensive than it needs to be. And I'm doing it on camera.

Construction Calendar Girl is the YouTube channel, the brand, and the transparency project — documenting every milestone, every investor meeting, and every door that opens or closes in real time. This isn't a polished success story. It's an honest one.

All Episodes
Episode 01
Let's Build

The manifesto. Who I am, what the company is, what I'm afraid of, and why I'm putting the raise — and all the vulnerability it takes — on camera. I already have checks. I already have believers. Now I'm building in public so you can watch exactly what it takes.

↗
Episode 02
What's Actually Broken in PropTech

The intellectual credibility episode. Why so much PropTech innovation benefits platforms, not people — and what the Nashville and Dallas markets reveal about the national housing crisis.

↗
Episode 03
Feat. Brandan Wright
Why I Said Yes

An NBA player, Nashville native, and early investor explains what he saw in this company — and this founder — that made him write the check.

↗
Episode 04
The Pitch. The Room. The No.

The fundraising reality episode. The questions male founders don't get. The pattern that isn't personal — it's structural. Told unpolished, on purpose.

↗
Episode 05
Feat. Anne Hollander
Design Meets Data

Dallas PropTech AI meets the founder building in its backyard. A conversation about what the industry's first AI platform actually took to ship.

↗
Episode 06
Feat. Lindsey Walker
Nashville or Bust

HGTV's Lindsey Walker joins on location in Nashville. The housing crisis, ground-level. What the market reveals that no spreadsheet shows.

The Raise
In Real Time

Most founders hide their capital raise until it's done. I'm showing you all of it — the structure, the conversations, the committed checks, and the investors who made me feel like I had to prove something a male founder wouldn't. Updated here as it happens.

The raise is the content. The content is the raise. And the transparency is the point.

From the first design concept to the final delivered room — completely handled.

Most home design technology does half the job. They show you a beautiful vision — a 3D rendering, a mood board, a furnished room on a screen — and then hand you a list and say good luck.

thehomestudio.ai closes the loop. Powered by AI, we manage the entire journey from design concept through supply chain management, product sourcing, and final delivery. You see the vision. We build the vision.

No coordinating seven vendors. No managing a supply chain you didn't sign up for. No hoping the furniture that looked perfect in the rendering actually arrives looking the same way.

We conceived this before our competitors existed — and we watched them fail because they stopped halfway. We don't stop halfway.
