About Us

Kristi Linauer--A2D Author and Editor

Kristi Linauer is a native of Waco, Texas, where she currently lives with her husband, Matthew, and runs her interior decorating company, Kristi Linauer Interiors.

Kristi loves every aspect of interior decorating, but her passion is do-it-yourself projects for the home, and she's not afraid to take on tough projects. Her goal is to bring that same passion to you, and share many do-it-yourself projects that you can do in your own home. Kristi truly believes that beautiful interiors should be available for everyone.

Jean Gear--Creative Director

Jean Gear is an absolute photo guru. She is a talented and accomplished photographer, having owned her own photography and photo restoration studio for many years. Jean is now retired, and lives in Waco, Texas, with her wonderful husband, Jon.

Jean has agreed to bring her talents here to A2D to help with our photo and video editing. We are excited about the talent and professionalism that she will bring to this site. Stay tuned to see her wonderful work!

Matthew Linauer--Computer Guru and Website Maintenance

Matthew, Kristi's husband, is the go-to guy for any computer-related and website-related issues. We're also very thankful that Matthew (for some strange reason) enjoys the repetitive, boring, and tedious tasks that are needed to keep a website up and running and looking great.
