About Donovan
“I am obsessed with art, design, interior and built design, writing, wellness and music—for starters.”
A Dallas native with a Master of Architecture and more than two decades across built design and interior design, I’ve helped shape over 200 residential, commercial, retail, hospitality and landscape projects.
My work now moves between disciplines: designing spaces, creating sensory experiences, building brands, guiding real-estate decisions and making art. The medium changes. The intention stays the same.
