Heather Mattox

Vice President of BDG Construction and Business Development

Heather brings her business expertise to Baker Design Group from the television, radio, and retail industries. While earning her Bachelor’s in Communication from Texas A&M University, she developed her business acumen in various roles before joining Zale Corporation as an Assistant Buyer. She was quickly promoted to Merchandise Planner for the colored stone and pearl division, where she handled store allocations and financial planning.

In 2007, Heather brought her experience in business development, planning, and marketing to Baker Design Group, where she has played a key role in the company’s growth. For the past 18 years, Heather has worked closely alongside Linda in expanding Baker Design Group’s corporate and residential interior design services while also developing and managing the Construction and Seasonal Department.

Leading BDG Construction allows her to combine her passion for design with her strategic approach to business development across all four arms of Baker Design Group.

In 2023, Heather’s creativity and vision were nationally recognized when she stepped away from her everyday role to take on a special project—designing her own vacation rental. The result was a three-time national award-winning design, a testament to her ability to merge function, style, and innovation.

Beyond her professional achievements, Heather is happiest spending time with her favorite person—her husband and their three beautiful daughters. Most weekends are filled with watching their girls dance and play soccer, but when they’re not on the sidelines, Heather and her husband enjoy working on fun projects around the house and watching all things sports together.

Libby Marrs

Lead Floral Designer

Libby is a North Texas native, who grew up in the Park Cities area. She loves all things nature and art, and has been working on a career that ties the two together since her teenage years. After earning her BFA with honors from TWU, Libby was a residential project manager with Bethel Studio. She then ventured out on her own by producing commissioned artwork and fine decorative finishes for many luxury residences. Fresh florals were always a passion throughout the years and after a decade, she finally joined the field professionally and jumped into faux botanicals! The sculptural aspect of the silk flowers, along with creating lively additions to arrangements has been a natural fit for Libby. With a wealth of knowledge in the floral industry and art, she is a bit of a style chameleon, and enjoys producing pieces that reflect the setting they will inhabit. Libby continues to add special decorative touches to Dallas homes throughout her botanicals and she looks forward to creating custom floral arrangements!
