Truehome Workshop Featured in New York Times

(PRLEAP.COM) Round Top, TX August 6, 2008 - Most big ideas don’t start in a rocking chair, but this one did – and the result wound up as a major story in The New York Times. The idea, hatched in 1992 on the front porch of an historic restoration in a small town has grown into a new approach to creating living spaces called the Truehome® Workshop.

The Times wrote that Truehome "…will do for the design and building profession what eHarmony has done for matchmaking."

The imagination behind the idea is Chris Travis, who lives in a tiny Round Top, Texas (Pop. 77) and jokes about turning it into a "small town Silicon Valley."

By year end, Travis expects to have automated psychological tests that help people create homes that fit both their conscious and subconscious emotional values available online.

The process so impressed Sam Gosling, Ph.D. (winner of the 2008 Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the American Psychological Association) that he devoted the last chapter of his new book, Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You (Basic Books, June 2008), to Chris Travis.

According to Gosling, "I have been particularly impressed by how Truehome was built with sophisticated psychological theory at its core to create a set of exercises that are engaging and intuitive without sacrificing rigor or depth. I believe that Truehome, more so than any conventional design process, will help clients create spaces that match their personalities, ultimately resulting in happier, healthier lives."
Truehome is a product of Nidiant Corporation, a company created by Travis and his youngest son, Benjamin Travis, the programmer behind the company’s unique software.
