About Us
WHO: With a degree in Interior Design; the love was real! I started in Chicago working in a Showroom in the Merchandise Mart and as a Commercial Flooring Rep. A diversion to Unilever, who knew… then the South was calling my name! After 5 years in Atlanta, I ended up in TX and represented furniture lines for a hospitality group; I started NOVA in 2013.
RESULTS: I hope the results are that we stay flexible & current while working hard to address the needs of all the innovative designers we work with in TX & AR! We want to exceed expectations of the designers we work with, introducing the extensive capabilities of our manufacturers and hopefully along the way……. a relationship is born!
PASSION: Outside of my love for all things design and the eternal desire to “redo” spaces, I am very active with my husband John and our 2 children Riley - almost 21(yikes), and Cooper. We have 3 additional babies (with fur) too! I am a huge foodie & that fits perfectly with the desire to travel and see what’s around the next corner. Thankful for all the people I meet along the way…..
Angela Budd
Principal
WHO: I'm a native Texan, a wife to Rusty, and a mom to Gabby & Ayden – both girls keep me busy with their sports and social calendars. I've done my time on the front lines in the hospitality industry, but now I very much enjoy my time as the NOVA Project & Marketing Manager. I have 23 years in sales - a matter a fact, that's how the NOVA Furnishings GROUP story began.
RESULTS: As the NOVA "Creative Mothership" I focus on helping our clients in a speedy & productive manner while assisting Angela as she's out in the field. I'm the one behind the Instagram, and all sorts of other fun projects.
PASSION: I enjoy my morning coffee, a fresh BabyRuth, Red wine, fuzzy blankets, and dogs, the last 3 typically all enjoyed together. I'd rather it be 100 degrees than anything under 50.
