Real Estate. Development. Design.

Project pictured above was one of my first development projects that really established the TUDOR style in Austin. Opening Image was completed in 2024 by Making Modern Home.

Dana Ambs has renovated/designed/sold/built hundreds of properties starting at the age of 21.   She is a degreed interior design/business/Realtor professional with experience designing and managing renovations of corporate campuses for some of the Midwest's largest companies.  Though she produced award winning designs during her corporate experience, her true passion was renovating properties with meticulous detail for a modern lifestyle.  Lured by Austin's vibrant economy and neighborhood culture, Dana relocated to the entrepreneurial city to begin Making Modern Home and obtained her real estate license.  She has represented buyers and listed Austin properties for over 200 successful sales.  Often, she is coordinating contractors, though she loves to get actively involved in the heavy duty construction herself! While involved in several neighborhood, civic, wellness, church and volunteer endeavors, she shares her enthusiasm for renovation, design, and real estate with her clients and community.   She still retains a strong Midwestern work ethic and an appreciation for frugality that leads to successful, unique designs incorporating a variety of new, old, and re-purposed goods and then works diligently to assemble and deliver the "whole package".  Designer turned Developer, Flipper turned Realtor, she’s always looking forward to adding value to all of her projects and for all of her clients!
