Hello Kitchen

As an Austin-based practice, we provide design services to a wide range of clients and project locations. With experience in interior design, cabinetry details and a passion for creating functional cooking spaces, we offer a unique perspective and specialized approach to kitchen design. Erin Hanrahan is the proud new owner of Hello Kitchen. Cindy and Erin were introduced through a local showroom, where Erin worked as the in-house interior designer. She assisted in bringing several Hello Kitchen projects to life by coordinating material selections and serving as a reliable resource for Cindy’s clients. Through her six years of working at the showroom, Erin developed product awareness and fostered trade connections in and around the Austin area. Cindy Black, architect and original founder of Hello Kitchen, has focused on the design of houses since graduating from the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture in 2000. After working at several notable Austin architecture firms, Cindy joined her husband Rick in the practice of architecture to design spaces that enhance and elevate the patterns of living. Through the years, Rick & Cindy Black Architects has established a reputation for thoughtful houses designed to fit in central Austin neighborhoods. Cindy is thrilled to pass the torch to someone as skilled, personable and responsible as Erin Hanrahan, and looks forward to seeing how Hello Kitchen will evolve.
