WHO WE ARE

Every Great Home Starts with an Idea

DeeDee Heathman, Owner and Operator, brings over three decades of experience to the table, transforming ideas into beautifully designed realities. Starting her journey with TJ Design and Consulting, DeeDee specializes in residential remodels with a focus on functional living spaces tailored for aging-in-place and retirement communities. Her expertise expanded after co-ghostwriting the book Senior Care by Design: The Better Alternative to Institutional Assisted Living and Memory Care. The book explores innovative housing solutions for families caring for aging loved ones, inspiring DeeDee to champion accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs) as versatile, value-adding alternatives.

Washington’s updated ADU laws further opened possibilities, enabling homeowners to generate income through non-family occupancy while still providing flexible housing options for relatives. (Learn more about these changes on our BLOG page!)
