Hi, I’m Dawn!

I've been designing homes in the Austin area since 1993, but my love for interiors started long before that—I grew up here, surrounded by the charm and character that make central Texas special.

Interior design isn’t just my job—it’s who I am.

I’ve been designing homes in the Austin area since 1993, but my love for interior design started long before that. As a little girl, I’d steal my mom’s butcher paper to sketch elaborate mansions, inspired by the grand rooms in my Clue board game and the hidden staircases from my favorite detective, Nancy Drew. Choosing interior design as my college major was an easy decision—it was always what I was meant to do.

These days, when I’m not creating for my clients, you’ll most likely find me in my garden or baking for family and friends. My husband is a devoted Dallas Cowboys fan, which means I get a front-row seat to plenty of NFL football drama. And I love dogs—especially yellow Labs.
