Bringing Homeowners and Build Professionals Closer Than Ever

Home improvement should be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. After Nook's founder renovated his own home, he discovered a significant lack of resources to help homeowners prepare for such projects and found that renovators often struggled to provide the necessary guidance. This realization sparked the creation of Nook—a platform designed to bridge that gap.


I joined the Nook as their first hire, and for the past four years, I've had the privilege of collaborating closely with stakeholders, designers, and a dedicated team of remote engineers to craft a platform that empowers homeowners to turn their visions into beautiful, tangible spaces.

Context

Homeowners often struggle to navigate home improvement projects due to lack of experience and knowledge.

After observing friends and family during home improvement projects, we identified several common issues faced by homeowners:


1. Communication and Planning: Many of them did not fully understand the renovation process, leading to unexpected surprises, misunderstandings, and delays.


2. Budget and Cost Management: Without setting aside contingency funds, they struggled to navigate unforeseen issues and changes in project scope.


3. Material Selection and Choice: Many regretted their material selections and felt they would have made different choices if given the chance.
