It’s me, Desiree, Owner and Principal Designer of Black & White Interiors! Welcome to “Designer Dez Says”, my blog on what’s on my mind.
A little bit about me, I grew up in California where I believe my mom gave birth to me in the wrong place. I love Texas and everything about it! Growing up I always searched for my perfect niche, whether it was art, photography or fashion design. I knew I had an artistic calling yet I wasn’t quite sure where or how to focus my passion. It wasn’t until around the age of 24 when I fell in love with HGTV.
I knew design was what I was meant to do! I left my boring world in management and started a new adventure doing custom window treatments. I continued to develop my skills as my passion grew. I achieved my next goal of work in a design firm, YAY. While there, I finally found my calling and decided to start college to learn more about design. After three years, I graduated from Westwood College with a BS in Interior Design and ready to take on the world!

After a year and a half, we finally opened up our retail design studio that showcases unique, custom pieces not found in Austin. I believe anyone who has a dream, sets a goal and works hard can achieve anything.
Now about the hair! I love to express my creativity on the outside; it’s also a great way for people to remember me. I love life and all it has to offer, so why not have crazy colored hair! I will say in appearance, I fit right in with the whole “Keep Austin Weird” mantra. Texas is my home and this is where I am meant to stay and change my client’s lives one room at a time!
