It’s been a big year. And that was a big understatement.

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve seen and read a lot of conversation about just how hard 2016 has been for many, many people.

I know personally, it’s been a year of extremes. Great loss, juxtaposed against some amazing gains.

Meanwhile though, Undercover Architect has continued to grow at a rate of knots in 2016.

I’m SO excited about the year that’s been, what Undercover Architect has achieved, and all the homeowners it’s been able to help.

I’m also, if I’m honest, pretty exhausted! And looking forward to a good break and some time with family and friends. I think my hubby and kids may be starting to think my laptop is surgically attached to my fingertips!!

Thank you to you, the UA Community, who have shared this journey with me. This is a special message for you (kids + school holidays + camera = chaos!)

In a Facebook group I’m in, it was suggested that creating this one-page summary (see below) is good way to sum up a year, and recognise accomplishments over the year. I’m not usually one for doing this type of thing. Once I get something ticked off, I move onto the next thing, because there’s always something to do! (I’ve got big plans!!) However, it’s been great to pause and reflect, and see just how much has happened in Undercover Architect’s 2nd year in business. And I remember Daniel Flynn of Thank You saying in a keynote I heard this year, that it’s super important to celebrate your achievements. So this is certainly a start.

(Perhaps you could do this too … one for your family, your professional life, your renovation or building project! We often underestimate the progress we’ve made and the goals we’ve achieved until we sit down and reflect on them.)

This is the year that was 2016 [click to enlarge]!

None of this would be possible without you, the UA Community.

So a huge thank you to you! It is a privilege to share and guide your journey as you design, renovate and build your homes … and help you get it right.

Here’s to a fantastic 2017 for you and yours …

Your Secret Ally,
