Hi from the team,
Elizabeth Star Young
Realtor® and Interior Designer
I love everything home! Studying trends in design and construction, touring available homes, scouring Pinterest for ideas, I am always thinking about how to improve a home's appearance and value. As a Realtor® and interior designer, I have the unique qualifications to assist buyers in finding that almost perfect house, helping them to visualize the possibilities and implementing changes to turn it into a place they can be proud to call HOME.
“Some people look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful.”- Hazrat Inayat Khan
As an Austin-based designer I have a passion for healthy and sustainable home design. I studied at The Art Institute of Houston, where I earned my degree in Interior Design. I launched Koral Design Studio in 2018. Prior to that, I worked as a lead buyer for the home improvement start-up, TreeHouse, where I expanded my knowledge of healthy, sustainable options for home interiors and construction. Continuing the mission of “The Healthy Home,” non-toxic furniture, zero-VOC finishes, and sustainable accessories are at the core of my work!
I am fortunate to be part of an industry that brings me happiness and allows me to use my creativity and experience to guide others in one of the biggest investments they will ever make. I have called Austin home since 2003 and know the intricacies of each community and neighborhood. Austin is where my two beautiful kids came into the world. We are now Buda residents and are loving every minute of it; the quick commute to Austin, the slower paced vibes and small town feel are perfect for our lifestyle now!

Realtor® and Staging Partner
Making things functional and cozy is my superpower. Whether it is designing a space, decorating a home, or getting crafty, my specialty is creating a space where people want to gather and connect.
I studied interior design in school and began my career selling home interior design services. For the last 17 years I have been a stay at home mom to two beautiful children while running several successful home-based businesses in event design and thirty-one bags to name a few.
We moved our family to the Austin area in 2019, and I am passionate about all that the hill country has to offer in terms of raising a family. Now that my children are beginning their journeys in leaving the nest, I decided it was time to challenge myself and follow through with one of my long time dreams to become a Real Estate Agent. Now, I can help other families get to know the place I call home and help them as they enter into their journey into homeownership and to make Austin and the surrounding areas their home.
After meeting Elizabeth, I realized how much we have in common, and it felt natural to join her design team. Together, I hope to build a thriving relationship where we will help businesses and families stage and sell their home. I couldn't be more excited to begin my next chapter, and I look forward to helping you in yours!
