Janet Hobbs
     Our Fearless Leader

Since the rest of this website is dedicated to telling you what Janet does for a living, we’ll leave her passion for design aside for a moment. When she gets a break from designing, she is usually trying to save the world through one cause or another, doting on her two grown children, traveling with her husband, hiking or running in West Texas (or just at Town Lake), or, when the stars and moon align just perfectly, sailing on Lake Travis or clamming at low tide at Martha’s Vineyard.

    Traci Di Giorgio Kelley
     Designer

Traci Di Giorgio Kelley has been with Hobbs’ Ink since January of 2008. She has been designing homes since 1990. Most recently she had her own design/build firm in Florida. Florida’s ill fortune was our gain; when the Florida economy became less than optimum and she decided to join friends who had told her how wonderful Texas is.

A very capable space planner and designer, Traci's skills from a lifetime in the building industry (her Dad has been building homes in Massachusetts since the early 1980's) are evident in her problem solving and practicality. She’ll help make sure your home flows well and meets your needs. In addition to her other work, Traci designed and published our new website.

    Cindy “Jo” Vaughan
     Project Manager

Cindy “Jo” has been involved in both residential and commercial design for over 25 years. Cindy and Janet’s professional paths crossed for the first time in the 1990s and, although she has only formally been with us a short time, it already seems like she has always been an integral part of the Hobbs’ Ink team. With an eye for detail, she will make sure all the I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed!

When Cindy “Jo” isn’t perfecting the details at Hobbs’ Ink, her world revolves around her family and 8 year old son. She enjoys the great outdoors with them every chance she gets so don’t look for her on holiday weekends as she’ll be off somewhere camping.

In October of 2010, Cindy "Jo" took and passed her qualifying exams and is now a Certified Professional Building Designer and a Professional Member of the American Institute of Building Design.

    Alicia Norman
    Office Manager/Drafting Intern

Recently having earned her AAS degree, Alicia has been with Hobbs’ Ink since December of 2010.  She handles office-y things for us like making prints of your plans, but is working on her apprenticeship with us so that she can become a Certified Professional Building Designer.  Her love of design, and especially of creating inviting environments for people to come home to, has helped her to quickly get up to speed as a productive member of our team.
