Ms. Blanton is a Certified Interior Designer with a degree from the prestigious Parsons School of Design. She has been featured on HGTV for her creative home design. Prior to starting her own business, Courtney worked with Peter Dunham in Los Angeles and Victoria Hagan in New York. Ms. Blanton is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. Her passions include enjoying live music in her hometown of Austin, TX and being with her family which includes her poodle puppy Luna and bulldog Rooney as well as her partner, Tom Gimbel - GM of the Austin City Limits television show and CEO of the ACL brand.

Courtney’s personal struggles with mental health issues and the subsequent freedom and healing she experienced when she opened up to others inspired her to form the Hi How Are You Project in 2017.
