2025 KBDN Innovator: Elizabeth Falconer • Renovations take designer from town to home

How many designers can say that they were hired to renovate an entire town? Elizabeth Falconer can. Many years ago, she was hired by a billionaire Austin, TX resident to totally renovate the resort town of Lajitas, TX, including the hotel, conference center, restaurants and airport. The project was such a success that it earned the project a large spread in Architectural Digest.

Now, as president of Aledo, TX-based Position by Design, Falconer has designed more than 500 original kitchens and master bathrooms, with no two being the same since her projects are owner-specific designs.
