Hi, I’m Erin Bryant—designer, caregiver, and founder of The Smart Home Lady. With over 20 years of experience in user-centered design, I’ve made it my mission to help families create safer, smarter homes for their aging loved ones.
My journey started when my daughter was just 4 years old and afraid to go upstairs alone because she couldn’t reach the light switch. That single moment sparked my obsession with practical, people-first smart home solutions. Fast-forward to today, and I’ve helped outfit not only my own parents’ home—but homes across the country—with simple tech that brings safety, peace of mind, and independence to seniors and their families.
Whether you’re a caregiver, homeowner, a concerned child, or a senior yourself, this blog is here to guide you. You’ll find real-life stories, practical advice, easy-to-follow tips, and product recommendations I actually use in my own home.
I believe smart home tech should make life easier, not more confusing—so I’m here to break it down and help you choose the best solutions for your needs, your budget, and your loved ones.
Let’s make caring smarter, together. 💙
The Smart Home Lady
