Our Story
In 2021, we began planning to transform our house into a space that reflected what we loved and how we wanted to live. But when it came time to remodel, we discovered how complex and overwhelming the process could be. It often felt like a black box, with contractors, designers, and suppliers holding all the insight while we were left trying to piece it all together.
Through that experience, we learned it is stressful to make big decisions without clear guidance, and how rewarding it feels when everything finally comes together. Along the way, we found real appreciation in the creativity, problem-solving, and joy of watching a vision take shape.
We started Strata to bridge the gap between what industry professionals know and what homeowners often don’t know. Our goal is to bring clarity, confidence, and calm to every stage of the process. Whether you’re planning a small update or a major remodel, we’re here to guide you through the layers of your project and help you turn your house into a home that truly reflects you.
Matt Tidwell
Planning and Project Director
With years of experience as a professional project manager and as a licensed contractor, I’ve developed a genuine appreciation for home projects, solving complex challenges and seeing each idea come to life. What began as a personal remodel grew into a lasting appreciation for the many layers of a home and the skilled trades that bring each one to life.
Through Strata, I combine my project management background with a love of craftsmanship to help homeowners navigate their projects with clarity, confidence, and trust that every detail is handled with care.
Melissa Mullineaux
Creative Director
I’ve always been drawn to the intersection of beauty and function, and to how thoughtfully designed spaces can shape the very core of our daily experience. What began as a professional passion for storytelling and design evolved into a hands-on love for creating environments that truly reflect the people who live in them.
Through Strata, I bring together years of experience in project management, marketing, and art direction with my eye for design to guide clients through every step of the process — ensuring their vision is realized.
