What Heather Scott Home & Design does

Heather Scott Home & Design is a privately held, full-service interior design firm and curated retail boutique headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 2006 by Heather Blue Harkovich and Scott Harkovich as The Heather Scott Corporation. The firm offers three core service lines: (1) Interior Design Services covering Interiors Only, Renovation & Interiors, and New Construction for residential clients; (2) a Retail Boutique selling curated furnishings, lamps, art, and accessories, supported by a vendor network of 200+ suppliers; and (3) Commercial/Multifamily Design including model merchandising for developers. Design engagements are initiated through an online questionnaire that funnels prospective clients into custom flat-fee quotes, with the firm executing concept, procurement, construction oversight, and final installation. No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; operations are expertise-driven and human-delivered.

The business serves affluent residential homeowners in Austin, Lakeway, and the Lake Travis area, with extended geographic reach into Arizona, California, Montana, and additional states. A secondary trade-designer channel offers sourcing and logistics services to other interior designers, and a commercial arm supports developer and multifamily clients. The revenue model is project-based professional services (flat service fees) plus one-time retail product sales, with no disclosed subscription, marketplace, or recurring component. Pricing is not publicly listed; all design work is quote-based.

Leadership combines creative and operational expertise: founder Heather Blue Harkovich (Fine Arts, Vanderbilt; MBA; prior creative career at Jaguar), co-founder Scott Harkovich (Retail Management, Purdue; International MBA, Warwick; corporate background at Ford and JD Power), ownership partner and principal designer Raquel Skrobarczyk, and COO/owner Emily Ward. The firm has accumulated 15+ years of brand equity through Architectural Digest, HGTV, Southern Living, Coastal Living, Luxe, Mountain Living, and ASID recognition, including HGTV Designer of the Year (2023) and a 2025 nomination. Heather Scott Home & Design is privately funded with no disclosed outside investment.
