PAT AUSTIN IS AN INTERIOR DESIGN FIRM ESTABLISHED BY CANDACE COHU AND ALLY HASCHE.


We believe that design should be approached as both accessible and adaptable due to its intimate nature, built to permeate with the correct materials and practices.

Our team and processes are grounded in exploring the aesthetic imagining of harmony, dissonance, and everything in between. We are inspired by the many individual stories that we encounter in our work, and the experience of actualizing the visions for our clients’ lives + spaces.

Pat Austin offers full-scale residential and hospitality remodeling, new construction, and comprehensive furniture packages.

We also run a multidisciplinary design studio called PATTY.
