You dream it, we build it

Headway Design is founded on the idea of moving forward where others cannot.

You already know what the space should look like. The right kitchen. The built-in that belongs there. The bar, the stage, the feature wall. The hard part is finding a builder who can actually execute it — precisely, at standard, the first time. That’s what Headway is for.

OUR SERVICES

cabinets

A kitchen that actually fits your space. built to your exact dimensions, in the material you chose

 

FURNITURE

Furniture that doesn't exist yet designed with you, built for the room it's going into

Architectural finishes

The millwork that makes a hospitality space feel intentional from host stand to back bar to stage surround

 

THe process

Three steps from the first conversation to a finished space. Nothing gets built until it's approved. Nothing gets approved until it's understood.

  • We start with a site visit; no charge, no pitch. We walk the space, take measurements, and talk through what you're building and what it needs to do. By the end of that conversation, we will both know if it's the right fit.

  • We produce detailed shop drawings for every component. You review and approve everything before a single board gets cut. Materials, finishes, and hardware are all confirmed at this stage — no surprises at install.

  • We build in-house where it counts and partner with trusted tradespeople where it makes sense — one point of contact from first cut to finished space. We coordinate everything: delivery, install, and a final walkthrough with you

What clients say after the project is done

There’s not enough I can say about working with Conan and Headway Design. He is extremely professional and does some incredible work. It’s hard to find a company that is good at both customer service and quality and he excels at both. I definitely will be using them again for my future builds.
— JAMES LEE, Pastor, Gateway Church
Headway Design & Conan’s team were an absolute joy to work with. From our first concept meeting to the executed design, everything went better than expected & the final designs were incredible. Conan was very communicative and able to take vague inspiration and create concepts that perfectly fit the budget and theme of our conference. We had over 20 items custom made and were thrilled with the result. We look forward to using Headway every year to bring our dream to life. You will not find a better scenic designer.

PlainJoe Studios has been able to work with Conan Head for over five years, we have consistently been able to rely on him to deliver at a high level of craftsmanship on custom fabrication projects time after time. He is on our short list of “go to” guys when we have a creative project that needs more than to be just put together, but really thought through for budget, function and practicality.

OUR FOUNDER

CONAN HEAD, FOUNDER

CONAN HEAD, FOUNDER

Conan Head has been building custom millwork, scenic environments, and architectural finishes for over 15 years. He served as on-staff Scenic Designer for Gateway Church in Southlake, designing and fabricating work that performed in front of thousands, week after week. He built high-end residential projects in California and has delivered custom fabrication including cut letters, signage, props, and themed environments across the country.

He founded Headway on one idea: move forward where others cannot. That means taking on the projects other shops won't quote, holding the tolerances others can't hit, and treating every client's vision like it matters, because it does.

Texas born, Louisiana raised. He and his wife Sarah live in Austin with their kids and a small farm's worth of animals.
