Alice Cottrell and Russell Brightwell
The TCU graduate got her start designing hotel interiors in New York City, and launched her eponymous firm in Dallas 30 years ago. Brightwell got his start in advertising (he spent 30 years as a creative executive in London, New York, and Houston), but decided to move to Dallas in 2017 to share his passion for collecting. Shoppers can make appointments to visit his Fair Park loft to discover a treasure trove of out-of-production, contemporary design objects, and vintage ceramics, as well as rare fashion, art, and design books.
Maestri Studio
Maestri’s boutique design firm in Exposition Park (which expanded to encompass an art gallery last summer) is known for its scrupulous detail in full-service architecture and interior design.

Holly Hickey Moore
After years living in Vermont, the Boerne, Texas native moved to Dallas to open her design firm, where she offers a more playful approach (bright colors and patterns abound in her work) to high-end projects.

Pulp Design Studios
The interior design firm, founded by Beth Dotolo and Carolina Gentry, is known for its personalization and “Splendid Living” approach, which ensures livability in addition to beauty.
