About Me:
My Story
Hi, I’m Dr. Dan Lester, and I’m thrilled to share my journey with you. Tiny Solution to a Big Problem started as a personal mission to combat the ever-increasing housing crisis by building my own tiny home. What began as a challenge to create an affordable, sustainable space has grown into a movement empowering women everywhere to reclaim their independence and live life on their own terms.
Through my background in construction and engineering, I’ve learned how to turn dreams into tangible realities. But more importantly, I’ve discovered that building a tiny home is about much more than just creating a place to live—it’s about building a life that aligns with your values of sustainability, creativity, and freedom.
The Spark: Why I Started Tiny Solution to a Big Problem
The idea for Tiny Solution to a Big Problem was born out of necessity and passion. Like many women, I was facing the pressures of a skyrocketing housing market, with fewer and fewer options that aligned with my values. I wanted a home that was affordable, sustainable, and a true reflection of who I am. So, I decided to build it myself.
As I navigated the complexities of constructing my tiny home, I realised that there were countless other women out there who were facing similar challenges but didn’t know where to start. That’s when I knew I had to share my experience—not just the successes but the struggles too—to inspire and guide others on their journey to tiny house living.
My Commitment: Empowering Women, One Tiny House at a Time
I’m committed to continuing this journey and helping as many women as possible take control of their housing futures. Whether you’re just starting to explore the idea of tiny house living or you’re ready to dive into construction, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Together, we can build more than just homes—we can build a movement that changes lives.
Lessons Learned
Building a tiny home isn’t easy, and my journey was filled with challenges. From navigating local building regulations to finding the right materials on a budget, I faced many obstacles. But each challenge taught me something valuable—lessons that I now pass on to others.
One of the biggest challenges was overcoming the self-doubt that crept in along the way. There were times when I questioned whether I could really do this, whether it was worth all the effort. But every time I pushed through, I found myself one step closer to my goal. I’ve learned that the biggest barrier often isn’t the technical aspects of building—it’s believing that you can do it.
