JEAN LIU DESIGN

What JEAN LIU DESIGN does

Jean Liu Design is a full-service interior design firm founded in 2007 in Dallas, Texas, operating as Jean Liu Design, LLC with a five-person studio. The firm delivers three core service lines: high-end residential interior design (new construction, historical renovation, space planning, furniture sourcing, and staging), commercial and hospitality design (notably restaurants and private airport lounges), and show house installations through events such as Kips Bay Dallas. Projects span 2,000 to 15,000 square feet across markets including Dallas, Boston, Whitefish (Montana), Los Angeles, New York, and Plano, indicating a Dallas-anchored firm with growing national reach.

The firm generates revenue through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, with pricing customized per engagement rather than disclosed publicly. Customer acquisition is sales-led, driven by direct client engagement, referrals, press exposure, and social media presence on Instagram and Pinterest. Notable engagements include the Sassetta restaurant in Dallas (named by Robb Report among the 25 Most Beautiful New Restaurants in America) and the Shape Shifter Residence, both featured in major publications.

Jean Liu Design is privately held with no external institutional investors and no funding rounds disclosed. The firm is led by founder and Principal Jean Liu, supported by senior designers, an accounts manager, and a studio manager. Recognition includes four consecutive years on the Elle Decor A-List (2021-2024), the 2018 House Beautiful Next Wave Designer designation, and co-chairmanship of the 2022 Kips Bay Dallas Decorator Show House. The firm maintains brand ambassador roles with Ann Sacks and WNWN, and its principal serves on boards of Dwell with Dignity and the AAPI Design Alliance. There is no proprietary technology platform; the offering is fundamentally human-led design expertise delivered at boutique scale.
