Hired on Thumbtack
After going through a rough divorce, I was faced with what felt impossible. As part of an informal parenting agreement, my options for where to live were limited. When I first walked into the apartment that my daughter and I would be calling home, I cried. The downsizing had been hard. We had to downsize from 3,500 square feet to 1,500. We had to part with treasured mementos, comfortable furniture, and so many familiar pieces of our lives.
This new space felt foreign, rough, and like it could never truly feel like home. I felt despair. I had already hired Dominique, but even then I wondered if the task was simply too large; perhaps impossible. Would I ever feel comfortable here? Would it ever feel like our home?
Dominique was confident. Too confident, I thought. Maybe even a little naive.
I was wrong.
The experience started off strong when she showed me a vision board based on our first conversations. I immediately felt heard and understood. I signed on the dotted line. When she completed my bedroom before the rest of the apartment, something unexpected happened: I was finally able to relax. She brought me peace after months of stress, uncertainty, and transition. The first night I walked into that room and slipped under the covers, I could literally feel the tension leaving my body.
And she wasn't done.
She transformed my modest kitchen, created a living room that looks like it came straight out of a design catalog, and designed a dining room that serves double duty as both my home office and an incredible space for board game nights with friends.
I am beyond thrilled with the result.
Dominique's only weakness is also her greatest strength: she pours herself completely into her projects. At least she did with mine.
Thank you, Dominique, for this gift. You helped turn a place I dreaded into a home that my daughter and I genuinely love. I can't thank you enough.

I hired Dominique to redesign my dining room in Boulder, and the experience exceeded every expectation! She brought ideas I never would have thought of on my own, and the result feels both beautiful and completely intentional. Throughout the project, her communication was clear and consistent, and she made the whole process feel collaborative rather than like handing things off and hoping for the best. She's reliable, follows through on what she says, and delivers real value for the investment.
If you're looking for a residential interior designer who combines artistic vision with professionalism and actually listens, I'd recommend her without hesitation.

Working with Opal & Brass Atelier was an exceptionally collaborative and rewarding experience. They brought thoughtful insights, an incredible eye for furniture selection, and beautifully nuanced color pairings that helped create a home that feels deeply personal without ever feeling overdone. The final result is both individualized and timeless, and the renovation has completely transformed how we live in the space. Every friend and family member who visits comments on how beautiful and cohesive the home feels.

Dominique is a truly inspired creative and designer. She has an incredible, intuitive sense when it comes to the nuance of style, form, and texture, with an emphasis on telling the story of her clients and bringing their personality into their space through a subtle, elevated beauty. Opal Brass Atelier reflects her distinct perspective and commitment to meaningful, story-driven design. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a designer who values nuance, authenticity, and timeless aesthetics.
