Nice to meet you.
We believe the best projects grow from strong relationships, which is why we look beyond the spaces to introduce you to the people who create them.
A curated, city-based platform for the people who shape homes.
Finding the right designer, architect, or builder for your home should feel more like getting a trusted recommendation than starting a blind search.
Design List Dallas is a curated guide to the designers, architects, and builders we would genuinely recommend to a friend. Instead of anonymous reviews or endless scrolling, we focus on introducing the people behind the work — how they think, how they collaborate, and the kind of homes they create — so you can find the right match for you.
Each feature is meant to feel personal. Through conversations, interviews, and thoughtful research, we help homeowners get to know the professionals behind the projects they admire.
Because the best homes don’t begin with a style.
They begin with the right people.
Keren Abu
Keren Abu has spent more than 20 years designing and building homes and landscapes. Her work reflects a deep understanding of how thoughtful design shapes the way people live, both inside and outside the home.
Since moving to Dallas from Toronto two years ago, she has continued to bring a creative and grounded perspective to residential design and construction. Through Design List Dallas, Keren helps identify design professionals with the insight of someone who has worked in the field for decades.
Afrat Spalding
Afrat Spalding grew up in a family of contractors and has built and renovated homes in both Los Angeles and Dallas. Before moving to Dallas, she worked as a publicist in Hollywood, where she developed a strong sense of storytelling and how to present people and their work in a compelling way.
Through Design List Dallas, Afrat brings hands-on building experience and a natural ability to connect people, helping homeowners get a clearer sense of who they might want to work with and why.
Sharon Blumberg
Sharon Blumberg grew up in Dallas and has a background in residential and commercial interior design, brand building, and creative direction. She has spent her career helping people connect with ideas and experiences in meaningful ways, from designing interiors to building brands.
Through Design List Dallas, Sharon brings together her experience in design and storytelling to thoughtfully represent designers and builders, helping homeowners see not just the work, but the people behind it.
