ANGELINE GUIDO HALL

PRINCIPAL DESIGNER + OWNER

angeline@angelineguidodesign.com

Angeline is a native to Dallas, raised in Lake Highlands. Both her parents are home builders/designers; therefore, she grew up running around on job sites and in the design showrooms. Watching her dad sketch house plans on napkins at the dinner table, nearly every night, may have had something to do with her inherent interest in architecture and interior design. Her love affair with all things design started at a very young age and it never stopped, taking her through four years of Interior Design school at Texas Christian University. Angeline has a soft spot for vintage furniture hunting and buying pottery and other hand-crafted items anywhere she travels.

Before opening her own business, the previous majority of Angeline's interior design career was spent in the hospitality industry, designing hotels and restaurants. She always knew she would eventually follow in her parents' entrepreneurial spirit and start her own company. So in 2014, she made the decision to leave her corporate design position to start her own firm and 6 months later hired her first full-time employee. Her business has been steadily growing ever since to assemble the amazing team AGD is made of today. While Angeline enjoys furnishings, her real passion lies in the construction side of design. It must have something to do with her upbringing and the familiarity that working on plans or walking a job site brings. She loves walking through every detail of a client's day to help them design the most functional layout for their life, whether that is a kitchen, bathroom, utility room, or closet. As the main Principal and Owner of the company, Angeline is involved in every aspect of the business from creative to operations. While the firm and book of business has certainly grown over the years, it has always been, and will continue to be, the utmost priority to Angeline that she manages to be a part of the creative process and client experience of every project, giving her team and clients the level of guidance and oversight that her experience brings. AGD is a relationship driven business and that is something that Angeline will always hold to a high standard to ensure her clients have the best experience, have a lot of laughs along the way and that when everything is done she better be invited over for dinner. She will bring the Italian wine!

Angeline and her husband John, a State Farm agent, live east of Dallas in Heath, TX with their two children Smith and Afton, and their Border Collie/Blue Heeler mix, Dottie.  You can catch a day in the life with Angeline and her children and the occasional cameo from John (typically against his better wishes) on the AGD Instagram stories. Another favorite character of Angeline's Instagram followers is her Dad, Carmen, who has established quite the fan base for his Italian antics, late night pantry raiding and inappropriate commentary. When Angeline and John aren't busy wrangling their kids or cleaning up after her dad during one of his visits, they enjoy entertaining at their home, spending time together as a family and traveling as much as their schedules will allow.
