About Us

Hello! We’re Atomic Avocado Designs®, a small family-owned business in Goodyear, Arizona, specializing in mid-century modern curb appeal and retro home decor. Our designs are rooted in an appreciation for mid-century design, personal style, and the idea that pieces for the home can be both functional and distinctive. ✨

I’m Holly, the owner, designer, and maker behind Atomic Avocado Designs®. Before starting this business, I spent more than 20 years as a funeral director. Eventually, I left that career to pursue something I had always been passionate about — design.

Atomic Avocado Designs® began with my own home. As a lifelong mid-century modern enthusiast, I had a clear vision for the kind of curb appeal I wanted but had a hard time finding pieces that felt quite right. So I made them myself.

It started with a mailbox I designed for our own front porch, followed by a retro “Welcome” sign to go with it. What began as a couple of pieces made for our own home, soon caught the attention of others who shared the same love for mid-century design. From there, Atomic Avocado Designs® grew into the full-time business it is today.

Our work has been featured on FOX 10 Arizona’s morning show and in publications including Atomic Ranch Magazine, Reader’s Digest, The Seattle Times, and Boulder County Home & Garden Magazine.

Behind the scenes, I have some wonderful help bringing it all together. Michelle brings her creativity and fresh perspective to the studio by lending a hand during our busiest times, while Dawn and our son, Luke, contribute design input and plenty of packing and shipping muscle along the way.

Together, we create thoughtfully designed, handcrafted pieces made to bring a little more mid-century character to your home.

Thank you for being here and for supporting our small business. 🥑
