Meredith Hayford grew up in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. She then spent a few years in East Texas where she received her Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design from Stephen F. Austin State University and then continued her education by completing her Master of Architecture degree from Texas A&M University. While attending Texas A&M, Meredith’s final study was selected by the graduate program as part of the program’s “Celebration of Excellence.”
Meredith leverages her unique background in both interior design and architecture to bring an exceptional design experience with every project. Her goal is to become both a licensed Interior Designer and Architect, so that she can focus on bridging the gap between the two disciplines and allow herself to be involved in all aspects of design, detailing and construction.
In addition to the many talents that she brings to the design team, her extensive knowledge of Revit and baking skills is what makes her an invaluable member of the team. Outside of work her interests include spending as much time with her husband as their schedules allow, cooking new dishes and crafting projects for their home.

Greg Hayslett graduated with his Master of Architecture from Tulane University. As a man of many interests and possibly a short attention span, he has a myriad of experiences ranging from bartender to youth minister to street performer to cook. He has explored Architecture and Construction at many scales; from the small scale, working for himself as a furniture designer and fabricator, to the larger scale, on a crew building houses with Habitat for Humanity and a student designed house in post-Katrina New Orleans. In his early career, working for a firm in Dallas, he learned to draw, both in and out of the Architectural field, in order to design innovative and intuitive solutions in a variety of programs, including commercial, residential, religious, institutional and industrial. While there, he advanced to the position of project manager and never stopped pining for his return to Austin. Greg joined Fazio Architects in 2013 as a project manager, working on residential and commercial projects. In his free time, he travels whenever possible, spends all the time he can with his wife and friends, learns new hobbies, and does the dishes if he absolutely has to.
