Since establishing the firm in 2013, Bergmann has developed a reputation for interiors that balance luxury and refinement with comfort, functionality, and individuality. His work spans high-end residential, hospitality, and commercial design, with each project shaped around the way his clients live and the experiences they want their spaces to create.

That vision has continued to evolve through Freestyle Interiors and, most recently, Studio Atlanta—extending the collective experience, resources, and design perspective of the broader firm into the Atlanta market. As Principal, Dwayne provides the creative foundation behind Studio Atlanta while supporting its leadership and continued growth, ensuring the studio is rooted in the same commitment to thoughtful design, exceptional quality, and highly personalized service that has defined his work for more than a decade.

Under Bergmann’s direction, Dwayne Bergmann Interiors has grown into a multidisciplinary design practice serving clients well beyond Southwest Florida. The firm specializes in residential, kitchen and bath, commercial, and hospitality design, while Bergmann has also expanded his creative vision into custom cabinetry, furnishings, and product design. Together with Freestyle Interiors and Studio Atlanta, that evolution has created a broader design network built on shared expertise, established resources, and a commitment to an elevated client experience.

Studio Atlanta represents the next chapter of that growth. Led locally by its Atlanta team and supported by the experience of the larger organization, the studio brings Bergmann’s longstanding design philosophy and collaborative approach to a new market while developing an identity and perspective distinctly its own. Across every discipline and studio, the work remains driven by a belief that exceptional design should never require choosing between practicality and beauty. The result is an approach that is confident yet personal, luxurious yet livable, and continually focused on creating environments that are as individual as the people who inhabit them.
