Home Studio AI, a trailblazer in modernizing the homebuilding industry, announced strategic partnerships today with HGTV's Lindsey Walker and Design Quad, alongside a prominent showcase at the Funded House during SXSW. The company, founded by Nicole McGuire, is transforming how homebuyers envision and personalize their living spaces through AI-powered curated furniture collections and seamless Web3 user experience.
McGuire's vision stems from her deep-rooted experience with her family's 80-year-old construction company. Home Studio AI empowers homebuilders to offer aspirational living experiences, allowing buyers to effortlessly personalize and purchase furniture collections with a few clicks.
Celebrated interior designer and star of HGTV's "Build It or Buy It," Lindsey Walker, will serve as the face of Home Studio AI. Walker's expertise in blending timeless elegance with modern functionality, coupled with her decade of experience in residential and custom builds, will drive the company's design innovation.
"Lindsey's passion for creating personalized homes aligns perfectly with our mission to transform the homebuying experience," said McGuire. "Her expertise will be invaluable as we lead the design world with our cutting-edge technology."
Home Studio AI has also forged a strategic partnership with Design Quad, expanding its home staging offerings for homebuilders, real estate agents and brokers. Nikki Watson, founder of Design Quad, will join Home Studio AI's advisory board.
"Joining Home Studio AI's advisory board and partnering to expand staging capabilities is an exciting opportunity," said Nikki Watson, founder of Design Quad. "We are looking forward to providing an even wider range of design solutions, ensuring our clients can create truly captivating spaces."
Nicole McGuire's innovative work with Home Studio AI has earned her recognition as a 2025 SXSW Presenter at the Funded House from March 7-11, following her successful completion of the Equity Angels accelerator in 2024 and showcases at industry events such as Blueprint Vegas.
"We are thrilled to showcase Home Studio AI in our SXSW 2025 Lookbook and at the Funded House Investor Lounge. Their innovative approach to modernizing the homebuilding industry aligns perfectly with our mission to connect investors with groundbreaking startups," said Elijah May, Founder and CEO of Funded House.
