“Hi there, I'm Donna, the face behind the name. Armed with a flat white and a fierce commitment to great design, the majority of my professional time is spent designing for our existing ongoing Clients. Throughout the year, I take on a limited number of custom commissions and specialise in Full-Service Interior Design and Full Home Furnishing for medium to large-scale Projects In short, I re-connect people with their homes in ways they never thought possible, add serious value and make it look next-level great. My talented Team and I have designed homes for clients locally, nationally, and internationally — we regularly work with ridiculously awesome clients like you, the ones ready to realise their dream and see a return on their investment. I'm married to a handsome guy named Mark, and we both run busy, sleep-defying businesses with the help of our non-stop-talking 12-year-old son and a much-loved coffee machine.

So nice to meet you!”

From a television news investigative reporter to journalism to being featured on HGTV’s Unfinished Business as a host & designer, Shay Holland displays her passion for interior design.

Shay developed a love for design alongside her father. From a young age, Shay spent countless hours in her dad’s basement workroom learning to sand, stain, and restore antiques and barn sale finds to mix in with pieces he’d bring back from his tours of duty. Her father’s legacy lives on through her hard work ethic, creating something mundane into an adventure.

Shay honed skills in building houses with Habitat for Humanity, managing a design showroom, and taking night classes to earn her contractor’s license. Shay loves working with her hands and the idea of exploring the world from a living room.

As Principal Architect and Founder at Murphy Partners Seniors Housing Architects, Bob has both a Bachelor of Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Architecture from the University of Waterloo. He founded the original firm, A. Robert Murphy Architect Inc., in 1984. With experience in commercial, residential, and mixed-use properties, Bob found his niche with his very first seniors housing project in 1985. Since then, he has spent over 35 years honing his craft, both in design and in creatively approaching Seniors Housing projects with the skills and knowledge of a specialist architect. 

Bob's passion for providing beautiful, safe, functional housing for seniors comes from his lifelong admiration for the "greatest generation" - and his charitable work shows it. He is a frequent donor to a variety of fundraising events for Seniors.

As Principal Architect, Bob is actively engaged in every assignment the firm undertakes. He ensures all projects translate successfully from the planning and design stage into construction and beyond. He establishes and maintains positive relationships with key stakeholders throughout their duration to see that each project runs smoothly and resolves any concerns promptly and efficiently. He leads the design team to prepare working drawings and specifications and allocates staff resources to ensure project commitments are delivered on time and in keeping with best practices. Bob particularly loves the Construction Site, because that is where ideas become reality, and he plays an active role in the Field Review and Site Meetings for every project.

Tim Cuppett is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, School of Architecture. After an

internship in San Francisco, he has had the luxury of residing and practicing in Austin for

over three decades.

Cuppett is a registered Architect and Interior Designer. After a decade of working for a large

commercial firm, Cuppett began his practice focused on single-family homes. He led the

firm to multiple design awards from AIA Austin and the Texas Society of Architects. His work has

been published in local and regional magazines including Southern Living’s “Best New

Home 2014”. In 2016 Cuppett welcomed Dave Kilpatrick as a Partner in the firm. Together

their homes have been featured in six of the last ten AIA Austin homes tours.

Dave Kilpatrick is a graduate of the University of Texas, School of Architecture and a Central Texas

native. Before joining Tim Cuppett Architects in 2011, he spent time drawing houses in Southern

California and west of Austin. Somewhere during that time, he took a sabbatical to swing a

hammer in South Texas. Dave joined Tim as a partner in 2016 and was flattered to have his

name added to the masthead in 2021.

As a child, Dave spent hours in the family gallery and frame shop building chipboard models

and hawking refrigerator-quality paintings to the gallery’s patrons. Other after-school days were

spent at the family’s ad agency watching the graphic designers create page layouts. It is likely,

these experiences, that shaped his affinity for composing architecture from a graphic

perspective.

When he is not working, Dave’s wife, three kids and perpetual tinkering on his central Austin,

mid-century home keep him very busy. He also sneaks out to the golf course from time to time.

Dave is registered to practice Architecture in Texas and Minnesota.

From Houston originally, Erica Heroy comes from the family of a machine designer/ inventor, a classical musician, and some wild entrepreneurial spirit. This practice was born out of that spirit with a drive for putting things together in a lovely and practical way.

Formative years spent at firms like Tsao & McKown in NYC and Glassman Shoemake Maldonado in Houston have inspired a practice built on exceptional design and great client relationships. Those firms also gave us an interest in staying power, tradition, appropriateness, and an excitement of where old and new meet.

The last few years, it has been our pleasure to collaborate on projects of different styles, sizes, and budgets and see them through construction. While our practice is rooted in architecture, we have a strong aesthetic for interior design and enjoy the process of layering on style, color, and texture.

Erica Heroy graduated from the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture in 2001, was registered by the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners in 2007, and joined the AIA in 2014.
