Meet the Owner

Hey there and welcome to AV Designs HTX! My name is Angie and I am the owner of AV Designs HTX. I am so excited to have you here! AV Designs HTX is a Latina-owned small business located in the heart of Downtown Houston, TX.

Growing up in a Mexican household of entrepreneurs, I got to see my grandfather hand carve wood into beautiful keepsake furniture. My mother made ceramics and loved to sew — as a kid, she made a lot of our clothes. I remember hand painting ceramics with my mom when I was younger, and then in high school I began making my own homecoming mums.

I am also a proud Military Mom. My son is a Marine Corps veteran and my daughter is an Air Force veteran — two of my greatest sources of pride and inspiration. Their service is the heart behind every military-themed design I create, and I am honored to make pieces that resonate with military families everywhere.

I have always loved the idea of handcrafted items, and now I get to make cositas bonitas (beautiful things) for all of you. My designs are rooted in the things that matter most to me — faith, family, heritage, and community. As a woman of faith, I create pieces that let you wear your beliefs with pride. As a proud Mexican-American, I honor our cultural traditions through designs inspired by Talavera, pan dulce, and the stories our abuelas passed down. And here in Houston, we are proud of where we come from — and every design reflects that Texas heart.

Thank you for trusting me and giving me the opportunity to do what I love and make cositas bonitas for all of you.
