Our Firm

A testament to the notion that "there are no coincidences in life," an impromptu encounter in New York City laid the groundwork for what would become one of Dallas' most sought-after design firms. Introduced through mutual friends at a Manhattan party in 2011, Mike and Bryan Yates set out on a journey that would see them become partners in life as well as in Yates Desygn, weaving a passion for style, design, and fun throughout both ventures.

Since its founding in 2015, Yates Desygn has crafted a reputation for delivering interiors that marry timeless elegance with modern, livable luxury. At the cornerstone of their practice is a strong commitment to connect and collaborate with clients personally, ensuring that spaces become a multidimensional expression of their lives.

Replacing Intimidation with Inspiration

Serving as the firm's Design Principal, Bryan Yates draws upon his experience in landscape and high-end international design (He holds an undergraduate degree from Texas Tech University and a Master’s Degree from New York's Pratt Institute) to guide clients through a design process that replaces intimidation with inspiration and more than a touch of laughter. Providing clarity and a touch of restraint in his role as Managing Director, the firm's process is heavily bolstered by Mike Yates' extensive background in theater and production management (He holds an undergraduate degree in Dance Choreography and Design and a Masters in Production Design.)
