Our Team
About Doug
Doug Cameron, Co-Founder and President of Render ATX, also serves as the General Contractor for each project. He maintains five points of focus for every project: team, sustainability, building science, artistry, and craftsmanship. The Render ATX health selectively takes on a limited number of custom projects each year so Doug can remain hands-on throughout each build. A true native Austinite, Doug Cameron (aka: #TheArtistBuilder), is extremely well connected within the local community encompassing people from all walks of life, as he was born and raised in the very neighborhoods Render ATX helps to shape and develop. Doug is a LEED Green Associate, a GBCI Green Building Professional, and a BPI Certified Building Analyst. He has an Applied Sociology degree from Texas State University with a Spanish Minor (completed in Costa Rica). Doug is a lifelong artist (who sold paintings to pay the bills in his early 20s), speaks Spanish fluently (having an affinity for the Latin culture), and has been an entrepreneur since he was 7 years old (starting with selling Coca Colas at Lion’s Municipal Golf Course). Doug is capable of cutting up and getting along with just about anyone. Having been raised around a playwright father and exposed to Shakespeare at a very young age, Doug truly has the gift of gab, along with a childlike imagination that enables completely out of the box visions and ideas. Doug is also well traveled exposing himself to old and new architecture and design from all over the world. For the past 15 years, he has been blessed to intertwine his art with holistic building science, and intention-based homebuilding practices allowing him to thoughtfully assist in shaping the rapidly changing face of Austin, Texas.
About Lillie
Lillie Cameron is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Render ATX. She works hand in hand with Doug and is the point person for business operations and project management on our custom builds; always keeping client’s abreast of schedule, budget, and project updates. Lillie’s career over the last 15 years includes leadership roles in software development, operations, project management, and entrepreneurship. After co-founding Render ATX and the housing market collapse of 2008, she spent 10 years at Rackspace as a Director working in the Cloud Computing and Engineering organization where she was responsible for over 100 personnel, a global project management office, software development, and 24x7x365 operations. In 2019, Lillie left her career in tech to dive back in to her and Doug’s original dream – building beautiful homes and being stewards to the Austin community. Since then, she has led Render ATX to design and build their own custom development projects and client projects. Lillie’s leadership and operational excellence background gives her a unique ability to drive efficiency and best practices. Fluent in Spanish, Lillie attended the University of Barcelona in Spain and Monterrey Tec University in Mexico. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Texas State with both a BAIS in International Business and a BA in Spanish. She also holds certifications from the University of Texas in Executive Management, as well as from the US Department of Commerce and the Latin American Business Council. She is also a licensed Realtor® and can assist with the full circle of real estate development. Personally, Lillie is passionate about animal rescue, building businesses locally, empowering women, creating beautiful, healthy, highly-functional homes, improving our local community, and exploring new cultures with her family – including two rescue pups and three kiddos.
About Joe
Joe Putman is the man behind the architectural drawings for all the Render ATX projects where Design+Build was in-house. In addition to being Certified Building Designer, stamping our plans, Joe also has a background as a master carpenter and graphic designer. Joe’s renderings and visual design for our projects are second to none. While he shies from any limelight, he is client-focused and listens intently to client needs which he incorporates to the expertise of his craft. His use of Revit and 3D Rendering software creates realistic visualizations for every project, allowing no detail to be left un-turned. Having worked with the Render ATX team for over the last decade, there is a tacit knowledge in how to produce the best outcomes for clients. In his spare time, Joe spends time tending to his land where he and his wife, a local midwife and herbalist, grow their own grapes and craft their own wine annually.

Uriel Mondragon– Assistant Superintendent. Uriel has a deep reverence and understanding for every aspect of the build process.

Uriel is an excellent caretaker of our projects and also a literal swiss army knife. He is an outstanding father to two little girls and loves spending all his free time with them.
About Laura
Laura Howard brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table from a wide variety of experiences. After retiring from federal law enforcement after 21 years, Laura found her way into the world of construction and had the opportunity to work for a single family home builder. Growing a love of the building process and experiencing a tremendous learning curve, she knew this was where she was meant to be. Her attention to detail, process excellence and passion for building science make her a perfect addition to our dream team.
In her spare time she loves training and running canine cross country with her Belgian Malinois and her German Shepherd sister. A mom of two amazing grown (human) kiddos, she also spends time exploring back country camping, competing in firearms competitions, teaches gun safety and criminal justice, and is a trained trauma medic. In other words, she’s basically a total bad-ass.
