About us
Our Story
Design with Frank is a platform that helps people design better homes—homes that are thoughtful, sustainable, and built to last.
We’re inspired by two Franks: the practical little pig who built a house of brick to protect his brothers, and the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, who began his career by designing hundreds of homes rooted in craftsmanship and site sensitivity.
We know the housing crisis won’t be solved by a single product—it’s a complex problem that demands both creativity and practicality. That’s why we created Design with Frank: to share knowledge, tools, and ways of thinking that empower people to plan and build better homes. Homes that are better for people—and better for the planet.
