A native to the Houston area, Alicia Beard has been passionate about interior design for as long as she can remember. After earning her Bachelor of Fine Arts, Alicia continued her schooling and expanded her artistic interests into the realm of interior design, which was further backed by her performing arts training, where she has extensive knowledge and experience in set, costume, and lighting design.

With a laid back, calm, and reliable personality, Alicia believes that cohesion and balance are the centerpoint to every good design. Telling a dynamic story and staying specific to the details can really elevate a design into one that her client can connect on at a personal level. Alicia’s innovative, outside-of-the-box thinking, and superior listening skills allow her to glean the most crucial elements from her clients to create a design that perfectly reflects their wants and wishes.

Her love for storytelling not only is evident in her knack for creating inspiring spaces, but also in her love for her other artistic skills, such as painting, cooking, and enjoying Shakespeare in the Park. When it comes to her work at Cantoni, Alicia loves “being surrounded by people who are so creative, talented, and passionate about their work.”
