Episode 10: Empire Drafting and Design, LLC’s Michael and DeAnn Payne – A Journey of Faith and Design
From childhood curiosity with Lincoln Logs and Erector Sets to a thriving career in architectural design, Michael Payne’s journey has been anything but ordinary. His early passion for building was briefly set aside for a 30-year calling in Gospel ministry, during which he remained deeply involved in construction projects. Eventually, he pursued an Architectural Technology degree and built Empire Drafting and Design, LLC, focusing on custom homes, remodels, and solving real client needs.
Alongside him, DeAnn Payne brings an unmatched attention to detail and organization, honed from years in ministry, corporate administration, and entrepreneurship. Together, they navigate the intricate world of home design, balancing client vision, municipal regulations, and practicality.
In this episode, we explore their faith-driven path, lessons from international travels, and their shared dedication to creating spaces that truly serve homeowners’ needs. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on craftsmanship, problem-solving, and the human side of home design.
