"Lindsay Wood, "The Tiny Home Lady" is the CEO of Experience Tiny Homes. Lindsay has been featured in articles by KUSI TV, Good Morning San Diego, Inman Media, Business Insider, Mercury News, Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast, Tiny East Bay Times, and Common Ground, among others.

Lindsay’s Tiny Home journey began in 2017 when she and her husband realized that they had spent north of $100,000 in rent in 7 years. They were paying for someone else's mortgage while dreaming of…Home Ownership, Simplicity, and the Freedom to Move where they wanted to. The traditional path of purchasing a home in the San Francisco Bay Area wasn’t in the books for them.  The builder they found at a Tiny Home Event went out of business during the middle of their build and they went from “Done for You” to “Surprise DIY”.

From that experience and working with many other clients, the GO TiNY! Academy was created. We want to increase the number of people that get their questions answered and get the correct guidance to GO TiNY! Lindsay is dedicated to help people follow their dreams of living Tiny, specializing in Tiny Home design, material/appliance selection, and builder analysis. Lindsay is on the board of the Tiny Home Industry Association focused on legalizing Tiny Homes across the US as well as creating new standards for Tiny Homes.
