What is this Site?

Thank you so much for stopping by! My name is Jill Kanto. I built my DIY tiny house in 2015 and have been living tiny since!

This website is my passion project to help tiny house dwellers, dreamers and community builders!

Speaking Opportunities

Prepandemic I attended 1-2 tiny house festivals a month as a speaker and brought a professional courtesty booth to help visitors find places to live in their tiny house. This serves as a great benefit to festival goers, builders and festival organizers alike!

Now that the pandemic is easing, I’d love to help your festival.
