We had the good fortune of connecting with Aaron Jefferson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Aaron, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting A&V Design Group stemmed from a deep passion for creating impactful designs that enhance aesthetics and daily experiences for clients. This endeavor provided the opportunity to have flexibility over my schedule while focusing on the ability to design and create, bringing ideas to life in unique and meaningful ways.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
A&V’s journey began with a vision of connecting with our community through design. We are thrilled about the upcoming chapter where design meets art to craft distinctive, cutting-edge pieces. Building a company from scratch based on this vision wasn’t easy; it required immense hard work, determination, and resilience. My professional journey has been a testament to the power of perseverance and the willingness to pivot and adapt to achieve desired outcomes.

Through challenges, I’ve learned the importance of embracing change and betting on oneself. Our brand is committed to long-term success, aiming to be the go-to solution for custom needs in both residential and commercial spaces. We pride ourselves on strong client relationships, meticulous attention to detail, and exceptional craftsmanship, setting us apart in the industry. We’re excited to continue growing and making a lasting impact with our unique approach to design and art.

Shoutout to my parents Margo and William Jefferson for being an incredible source of inspiration and guidance in my life.
