The Halzband Team

Angelique

Business Co-Owner, Head Seamstress and Product Designer
Angelique at Halzband

I am an experienced mom with two beautiful children, a wonderful husband, and a house full of pets. I've also been sewing and crafting, including soap making, for more than 20 years. I was once featured on HGTV's The Carol Duvall Show for my Christmas decorations. During all that time, I kept a career going as an operations manager for various ecommerce companies around the Austin area, including one featured on ABC's Shark Tank. My roles have included management of production, fulfillment, warehousing, shipping and receiving, customer service, and training. But my dream has always been to start my own business and now, with Halzband, that dream has come true and I'm doing what I truly love to do. I am always working on creative new designs and I really hope you enjoy my handcrafted collars and other goods.

I am an active dad who enjoys spending time with our kids, my amazing wife, and our pets. I've coached youth baseball and served as a regular volunteer, putting in hundreds of hours at community programs in our area. I am also a long-time member of Austin's tech community. I have long wanted to start a family business and had the opportunity to do so with Halzband LLC. I've learned so much from the experience and am very excited about the brand we've created!

Besides chasing squirrels and modeling collars for Halzband, I handle customer service. If you ever have an issue with an order, you'll be in good paws with me. I'll make sure we make things right! I may even blog from time to time.

Quality Control Manager

I oversee the Halzband facility and ensure it maintains high standards for quality control. If something doesn't pass my sniff test, you can rest assured it won't get shipped. I make sure that only quality products are shipped to our customers.

Night Manager

I manage Halzband's overnight operations, including frequently chewing on wood. I don't mind the hours since I'm nocturnal.
