"Artrepreneur" Monique Capanelli launched Articulture Designs in 2009 in a home studio. She remains the creative force as principal designer at Articulture, which has grown significantly to the current 2,200 square-foot studio/boutique with a staff of "Articulturists." 

Though an Austinite for 20+ years, Monique’s green thumb first originated in Sonoma County, were her restaurateur parents went organic before such a certification existed. She feels lucky that her work includes many of her life’s passions: plants, art, environment, and design. 

Frequently featured in magazines and on television for her groundbreaking approach to design, plants, and art, Monique is equally proud of creating a successful, multi-faceted business. She strives to give back to the communities that supported her through volunteering, providing internships, and donating to causes supporting woman entrepreneurs and art students.
