Shannon and Lucas first met in 2019 while planning an art event to benefit young women who had arrived in Austin through the refugee resettlement program. Together, they unintentionally sparked what would become PietschHouse in 2021, starting with an art and music show behind a warehouse in East Austin for the Austin Studio Tour.

While Lucas has since moved on to other creative pursuits, Shannon has carried PietschHouse forward, shaping it into a creative production company rooted in community and collaboration. Under her direction, PietschHouse has grown beyond what their little hearts first imagined, crafting dope experiences for artists and audiences alike, all while cultivating a space where lasting friendships and creative partnerships can flourish.
