Meet Angelica Cid
Welcome to Angelica Cid Interior Design. Based in Austin, Texas, I specialize in crafting warm, editorial, and functional spaces for homeowners, investors, and Airbnb hosts. Discover the story, background, and thoughtful philosophy behind every curated interior.
From fashion roots to curated interiors
My passion for design began long before I started working with interiors. I spent nearly a decade running my own fashion business in Brazil, selecting fabrics and materials, developing collections, styling clients, sourcing products, and creating weekly window displays. That experience trained my eye for color, texture, proportion, and understanding what works for each individual.
After moving to the United States in 2016, my passion for transforming spaces continued to grow. In 2023, I began formally studying interior design and continued expanding my knowledge through additional courses and independent study. Today in Austin, Texas, I bring that creative background together with a practical, personal approach to create spaces that feel warm, functional, and deeply connected to the people who experience them.
A thoughtful, balanced design philosophy
My design philosophy centers on creating spaces that are beautiful, functional, and personal. Good design begins with listening closely to understand how a space needs to work, who will use it, and what makes sense for each client’s lifestyle, goals, and budget.
For homeowners, that means creating a home that reflects their personality and supports the way they actually live. For Airbnb hosts and real estate investors, I balance thoughtful design with guest comfort, functionality, durability, and the property’s overall appeal.
I believe great design doesn’t require choosing the most expensive option. It’s about making intentional decisions, knowing where to invest, where to be practical, and how to bring every element together to create a space that feels cohesive, welcoming, and complete.
Spaces made for living and connection
When you or your guests walk into a space, I want you to immediately feel comfortable, welcomed, and connected to it. A beautifully designed space should feel intentional and refined, but never forced, fragile, or untouchable.
For homeowners, I want it to feel authentically yours: a home that reflects your personality and the way you live. For short-term rentals, I want guests to experience that same sense of warmth and comfort while creating a space that feels thoughtful, memorable, and inviting.
Outside of design, I’ve always been passionate about creativity, fashion, travel, and discovering beautiful and unique pieces. But more than anything, I genuinely enjoy connecting with people. Years of working closely with clients have taught me how important it is to listen, understand their stories, and discover what makes a space truly feel right for them.
That personal connection is something I bring into every project.
"A beautiful space should feel intentional, welcoming, and connected to the people who live in it."
