Burkle Creative
Javier Burkle — Founder & Principal | Dallas, TX
What's one detail you never overlook?
Lighting. It completely shapes how a space feels and how you experience it, so it’s never an afterthought. The way I layer lighting is what creates mood, adds depth, and allows a space to shift throughout the day.
Coco & Dash Interiors
Courtney Garrigan — Co-Founder & Principal Interior Designer | Dallas, TX
Teddie Garrigan — Co-Founder & Principal Interior Designer | Dallas, TX
What's your favorite material or finish right now?
We will forever be captivated by painted finishes on furniture, whether new or antique. There is something so special about seeing the human hand in the work. It gives each piece warmth, character, and a deeply personal quality.
Fonde Interiors
Jen Stevens — Founder & Principal | Dallas, TX
What are the top trends or products you are drawn to lately?
I’ve been especially drawn to tailored details lately - pleated lampshades, skirted upholstery, and pieces that feel a bit more dressed. They bring a softness and level of intention that makes a space feel more layered and refined.
Maestri
Eddie Maestri — Founder & Principal Architect; Interior Designer & Creative Director | Dallas & Los Angeles
Why are you looking forward to serving as a Design Ambassador?
Dallas Market Center is a platform that connects disciplines and perspectives at scale. Being part of that dialogue is an opportunity to contribute to the broader direction of design while also staying closely engaged with new ideas, products, and voices shaping the industry.
Pulp Design Studios
Carolina V. Gentry — Co-Founder & Principal Interior Designer | Dallas, TX
Beth Dotolo — Co-Founder & Principal Interior Designer | Seattle, WA
Why are you looking forward to serving as a Design Ambassadors?
Dallas Market has been part of our story for a long time, and this feels like a natural way to give something back. We love this industry! The makers, the showrooms, the buyers who care as much as we do… and if we can help connect more designers to resources that elevate their work, that matters to us. We also believe the ambassador role is a conversation, not a platform. We're here to listen as much as we are to share.

What's one detail you never overlook?
Never overlook an opportunity to tailor an item or experience specifically to your client. Those unique details are how good designs become great designs.
