AMY SWITZER DESIGN

Amy Switzer is the founder and principal designer of Amy Switzer Design, a full-service residential design studio based in Dallas. Known for her fearless use of color and pattern, Amy creates interiors that begin with each client’s individual aesthetic and are layered with the distinctive color, texture, and personality that have become her signature.

​

Originally from St. Louis, Amy spent the first decade of her career in New York, designing textiles and working across home manufacturing and major retail partnerships.

In 2022, she launched Amy Switzer Design, bringing her experience and distinctive point of view directly into residential interiors.

​

Today, Amy Switzer Design specializes in full-service interior design for new construction and whole-home renovations, guiding clients from the earliest stages of a project through the final layer of styling. Amy also extends her design perspective into product design and licensed collaborations.

City Hill Design Headshot_Color.jpeg
CITY HILL DESIGN

City Hill Design is a full-service interior design studio founded by sisters Amy Mobley and Katie Norrid in 2017. What began in a small home studio has grown into a Germantown, Tennessee–based firm designing residences throughout Memphis, Nashville, and beyond. With backgrounds rooted in the homebuilding industry, Mobley and Norrid bring a strong understanding of construction to their work, allowing the firm to approach both new builds and existing homes with equal expertise.

​

City Hill Design is known for interiors that are layered, highly personal, and shaped as much by the people who live in them as by the architecture itself. Color, original art, storied antiques, and natural materials are recurring elements, often paired with an unexpected detail that gives each room its own point of view. The sisters have a particular appreciation for pieces with a story and the artists and craftspeople behind them, regularly incorporating locally made work alongside collected objects and antiques.

​

Rather than following a prescribed aesthetic, City Hill Design creates homes that feel assembled over time—spaces with character, permanence, and a distinct sense of place. Their interiors are thoughtful and beautifully considered, yet designed first and foremost to be enjoyed, lived in, and loved.

COCO & DASH

Coco & Dash Interiors is a Dallas-based residential design studio led by mother-daughter duo Teddie and Courtney Garrigan. Their work is shaped by an exceptional fluency in color, pattern, and scale, as well as a natural instinct for bringing together styles and periods with ease.

 

Rather than designing to a formula, Teddie and Courtney approach each home as its own story, layering antiques, fine textiles, and unexpected pieces to create interiors rich in personality. Their shared sensibility is informed by Teddie’s years living abroad and Courtney’s instinct for the rhythms of everyday life, resulting in rooms with a worldly point of view and an unmistakable sense of home.

 

From their Dallas studio, Teddie and Courtney work on residences across the United States. That same eye for design and discovery extends to Coco & Dash To-The-Trade at Dallas Market Center, where they represent a curated collection of luxury makers. Recognized by D Home among the city’s leading designers, the duo also serves as inaugural Design Ambassadors for Dallas Market Center.

DANA WISEMAN DESIGN

Dana Wiseman is the founder and principal of Dana Wiseman Design, a full-service interior design studio established in the Dallas–Fort Worth area in 2021. Known for richly layered interiors that balance the bold with the serene, Dana approaches each home as a vibrant narrative and every room as a place meant to be experienced. Her designs blend high and low, modern and vintage, rough and refined, creating spaces that feel elegant and sophisticated without ever feeling pretentious.

​

Dana’s path to design began in film. Over two decades in New York, she wrote and directed her own films, designed sets, and produced events for film festivals and nightlife venues before turning to commercial interiors, including restaurants and hotels. That experience continues to shape her approach, giving her a unique understanding of movement, atmosphere, storytelling, and the way people experience a space. Her work emphasizes strong indoor-outdoor connections, natural light, organic materials, and rich texture.

​

Dana works closely with each client from the initial architectural conversations through final installation, listening not only to what clients say they want, but also to what they may not yet know how to articulate. The result is a collection of calm, balanced interiors that uncover latent beauty while creating nurturing and inspiring homes. For Dana, the process of designing a home should be as joyful as the finished space itself.

Jen Stevens_Fonde Interiors.jpg
FONDE INTERIORS

Jen Stevens designs interiors with a sense of memory, even when the house is new. As founder and principal of Dallas-based Fonde Interiors, she is drawn to the tension between old and new, refinement and ease, and rooms that are beautiful without feeling overly resolved. Antiques sit alongside custom furnishings, expressive materials are balanced by moments of restraint, and every project is shaped by the particular lives unfolding within it.

​

Stevens began her career in luxury hospitality design, where she developed an instinct for atmosphere and for the way a space reveals itself over time. Today, her work spans ground-up residences, renovations, and boutique hospitality, with each project approached as its own story rather than an exercise in a prescribed style.

​

Her work has appeared in national and regional publications and has received multiple design and preservation awards, including a PaperCity Design Award for the Madison Hotel. Stevens was also named to D Home’s 2026 Best Designers list.

​

A lifelong collector and student of historic interiors, Bienvenu approaches each project as a personal archaeology, drawing on a client’s history, interests, collections, and way of life as the foundation for a room.

Bienvenu Interiors in 2021, her work has garnered national recognition, appearing in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Homes & Gardens, and other design publications. Her barrel-vaulted library in Little Rock was named Best Specialty Space in the Southeast by Traditional Home and the Nashville Design Collective.

Before turning to interior design, Bienvenu began her career as an educator and Teach For America corps member, an experience that continues to inform her perspective and makes her participation in the Kips Bay Decorator Show House particularly meaningful.

That experience shaped her respect for structural integrity and the transformative power of design. Her work is defined by strong architectural bones, clean lines, intentional spatial flow, and structural rhythm, layered with rich materials, sculptural forms, and timeless craftsmanship. Inspired by architecture, global travel, fine art, classical music, and her clients’ stories, she creates immersive interiors that feel sophisticated, soulful, and deeply personal. The firm’s work extends internationally, including a recent commission to build an elementary school in Ghana, Africa.

PETERS CATES DESIGN

Peters Cates Design creates homes that feel assembled over time rather than designed all at once. For partners Russ Peters and Bill Cates, compelling interiors begin with architecture, while character comes from the thoughtful combination of disparate elements—old and new, formal and relaxed, important pieces and ordinary ones. Art, furniture, materials, finishes, and objects are selected both for their individual qualities and for the way they contribute to the larger composition.

​

Based in Dallas and working together since 2001, Peters Cates Design has developed a comprehensive residential practice encompassing interior design and architecture, renovation, construction management, decoration, custom furnishings, and installation. Their involvement throughout every phase of a project allows the design to remain cohesive from the initial drawings through construction and the final layers of detail. Rather than imposing a recognizable style, the partners allow each project to evolve from its architecture and the lives of the people who inhabit it, often incorporating existing pieces, treasured collections, and objects with personal meaning.

​

Peters Cates Design has long been recognized among Dallas’ leading residential design firms, with work featured in local, regional, national, and international design publications. At the heart of the practice is a belief that successful interior design should do more than make an immediate impression. It should feel personal, endure, and become richer over time—with a sense of refinement, individuality, and, ideally, a bit of wit.

Platinum Gym Design

Peter Hoffman is the founder of Platinum Gym Design, a Dallas studio devoted to creating private gyms and wellness spaces. His path to design began on the training floor, where he spent 15 years in the fitness industry, including a decade at Equinox. For eight of those years, he held Tier X, the company’s highest designation for personal trainers, and helped pilot Optimize, Equinox’s $40,000-a-year performance and longevity membership. Working with executives, professional athletes, and families gave Peter a unique understanding of how people actually use wellness spaces—and what separates a beautiful gym from one that truly performs.

​

Platinum Gym Design was built around that firsthand perspective. The firm creates fully custom, turnkey gyms and wellness environments for private residences, hotels, and commercial properties, handling concept, equipment curation, and installation in-house. Its work combines the craftsmanship of fine interiors—including natural stone, wood, leather, and architectural lighting—with equipment selected for both performance and design, including bespoke European pieces, custom finishes, and commercial-grade equipment. Based in Dallas, the firm works throughout Highland Park, Preston Hollow, University Park, and beyond, with nationwide delivery available.

​

Peter brings that philosophy to his Kips Bay debut with the Home Gym & Spa, designed around the belief that a private gym should be both highly functional and worthy of its place within the home. Peter lives in Frisco with his wife, Jodie, and their four boys. When he isn’t designing training spaces, he’s usually in one.

Katie Stephenson - Stephenson House Headshot.jpeg
Stephenson House

Katie Stephenson founded Stephenson House with a simple belief: a home should feel as though it belongs for generations, not as though it was decorated for a season. Trained at the New York School of Interior Design and raised between Britain and Canada, Katie brings a distinctly European sensibility to her work, shaped by a lifelong appreciation for architecture, craftsmanship, and timeless design.

​

Her interiors are grounded in real furnishings, antiques, custom craftsmanship, and carefully considered materials rather than trends or the typical. Between site visits and installations, Katie travels to French marketplaces, textile mills, and the workrooms of renowned artisans, sourcing the individual pieces that give each project its own identity. Her approach is deeply personal, with every room intentionally sourced and designed to reflect the people who live there.

​

Stephenson House is headquartered in Alberta, Canada, and Nashville, Tennessee, providing design services across both countries. Katie’s philosophy is simple: quality you can feel, spaces you can enjoy, and a home that amplifies who you are. The result is interiors designed not simply to be admired, but to be lived in, loved, and treasured for generations.
