Jean Brownhill, an experienced commercial architect for ten plus years, thought she knew what she was doing when it came time to renovate her house. But she didn’t and that struggle inspired her to create the client, contractor matchmaking website Sweeten, to help clients renovate fearlessly. Learn more about the startup and how business is going with her interview with Casey Grey.
“Our mission is to have people renovate fearlessly, that’s the goal, I think that construction and renovation is just magic!” - Jean Brownhill
