ABOUT US

SHELLY COTTER
Shelly Cotter is the Principal and Lead Designer of Shelly Cotter Designs, a Dallas-based interior design firm known for creating warm, modern spaces that feel elevated yet deeply personal. With a degree in Interior Design from Texas Tech University and over 15 years of experience working with industry icons Knoll and Herman Miller, Shelly developed a strong foundation in timeless design principles, functional planning, and thoughtful materiality. Her early career focused on commercial interiors for Fortune 500 clients, where she partnered with leading architecture and design firms to create workspaces that were both beautiful and strategic — designed to inspire, support productivity, and attract top talent.
Today, Shelly brings that same level of intention to her residential work, blending clean lines, layered textures, and curated pieces to craft spaces that feel effortless and lived-in. Her approach is rooted in connection — helping clients create homes that reflect their lives, support how they live, and ultimately help them love where they live.
