HUNTER DOMINICK
"What set the course for my path was growing up watching my dad as the designer of his own interior design firm."
Dedicated, passionate, devoted - the second-generation designer pulls inspiration from a world of lifelong creativity. With a painter as a mother and a musician and interior designer as a father, Hunter was introduced to a creative lifestyle from an early age. Her character as a designer was shaped by her father’s approach to making decisions because of the client, their purpose, and their reasoning behind a project. Alongside her father’s influences, her mother’s down-to-earth natural style can be found mirrored in Hunter’s craft.
BACKGROUND
Hunter grew up watching her dad as the designer of his own interior design firm and dedicated herself to graduate high school a year early to join her own spot in the interior design world. She was admitted to Virginia Commonwealth University in the same program where her mother and father met. Further education provided Hunter with training that led to her specialty of interior architecture and construction management.
After completing her degree, Hunter built her expertise in interior architecture at a design firm in Aspen, Colorado before moving to Whitefish, Montana to start her business. With an emphasis on providing high professional standards, Hunter became a member of ASID (American Society of Interior Designers) and the Green Building Council.
