From Craftsmanship to Creativity: Douglas Salinas’ Journey to Interior Design Excellence
Houston, Texas, 27th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the heart of Houston’s thriving design community, Douglas Salinas has emerged as a name synonymous with artistry, innovation, and craftsmanship. As the founder of Salinas Interiors, a premier interior design firm, Salinas has transformed the way Houstonians experience their living and working spaces. His journey, rooted in family traditions and guided by decades of dedication, reflects the perfect balance of creativity and function that defines interior design excellence.
Early Foundations in Craftsmanship
Salinas’ story begins with his family’s move from Mexico to the United States when he was a toddler. Growing up in Houston, he found inspiration in his father, a skilled carpenter whose workshop became a place of discovery. Summers spent assisting his father instilled in him
an appreciation for precision, materials, and the transformative power of design. “Those early years shaped everything I do today,” Salinas recalls. “Watching my father build with his hands taught me that design is more than aesthetics—it’s about purpose, emotion, and connection.”
The influence of his father’s craftsmanship laid the foundation for what would later become Salinas Interiors. This hands-on exposure to the world of carpentry not only taught Salinas the value of detail but also inspired him to pursue design as a lifelong career.
Academic Excellence and Early Career
Salinas was determined to formalize his passion. Through a dual-credit program in high school, he began studying design at the college level, demonstrating both ambition and commitment. His dedication culminated in graduating with honors from the University of Houston, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Architecture and Design. Early in his career, Salinas joined a leading Houston architectural firm as an assistant designer. This experience allowed him to refine his skills in space planning, color psychology, and architectural integration. It also exposed him to the realities of delivering client-focused solutions, balancing creativity with function.
Founding Salinas Interiors
In 2000, Salinas took a bold step by launching Salinas Interiors. His mission was clear: to create timeless, elegant spaces tailored to the unique needs of every client. With over two decades of consistent growth, the firm has become a trusted name in Houston, serving
residential and commercial clients across diverse industries. From sleek urban apartments to expansive corporate offices, Salinas brings a meticulous eye for detail and a deep understanding of design psychology. His work is distinguished by its ability to harmonize functionality with beauty, ensuring that every space tells a story reflective of the client’s vision.
“Design is about listening as much as creating,” says Salinas. “Every client has a vision, and it’s my responsibility to bring that vision to life in a way that is both practical and inspiring.”
A Reputation Built on Trust and Results
Over the past 25 years, Salinas Interiors has earned accolades for its ability to consistently deliver projects that exceed expectations. The firm’s portfolio demonstrates versatility, showcasing modern interiors, classic designs, and custom solutions that adapt to diverse
lifestyles and business needs. Clients frequently praise Salinas not only for his creativity but also for his professionalism and ability to make the design process seamless. His collaborative approach ensures that clients feel engaged and valued throughout each stage of a project.
Championing Sustainable Design
In addition to his work with clients, Salinas is a strong advocate for sustainable design practices. Recognizing the growing importance of environmental responsibility, he incorporates eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient solutions into his projects whenever possible. His dedication to sustainability reflects a forward-thinking vision that extends beyond aesthetics, embracing the role design plays in shaping healthier communities. “Designers have the ability to influence how people live and work,” Salinas explains. “That comes with the responsibility to make choices that respect both people and the planet.”
Mentorship and Community Engagement
Beyond his professional work, Salinas dedicates time to mentoring aspiring designers. He believes in giving back to the community that shaped his career, offering guidance to students and young professionals navigating the world of design. His active involvement in local initiatives highlights his commitment to fostering creativity an supporting the next generation of Houston talent. Whether through guest lectures, workshops, or one-on-one mentorship, Salinas has become a role model for those who aspire to follow in his footsteps.
A Global Eye with Local Roots
Travel plays an essential role in Salinas’ creative process. By exploring international art, architecture, and design trends, he gathers inspiration that informs his Houston-based projects. This global perspective, combined with his deep understanding of local culture,
enables him to craft interiors that are both sophisticated and relatable. His designs often integrate cultural influences, personal stories, and innovative solutions, creating spaces that resonate emotionally with clients while maintaining functionality. This ability to blend local roots with global insights has positioned Salinas as a leader in Houston’s design industry.
Looking Ahead
With over 25 years of experience, Salinas shows no signs of slowing down. Salinas Interiors continues to grow, expanding its portfolio while maintaining a commitment to excellence and personalized service. Future plans include exploring new technologies in interior architecture, such as smart home integrations and advanced sustainable materials. Salinas remains focused on adapting to the evolving needs of clients while staying true to his core philosophy: design that merges craftsmanship, creativity, and human connection. “Every project is an opportunity to create something meaningful,” Salinas says. “The work I do is not just about spaces—it’s about people, experiences, and the moments those spaces help create.”

Children’s picture book about Gracie, her lost horse Patches, and a compassionate choice that reveals faith, responsibility, and community.
Author David G. Toussaint announces the release of “My Friend PATCHES: Lost and Found,” a children’s picture book illustrated by Livya Howe and Leanna Weihold. The story follows Gracie, a young girl who shares a deep bond with her horse Patches. After a stormy night leads to Patches’s disappearance, Gracie and her family search for months without success. When a later visit to friends reveals a horse resembling Patches in the care of a local farmer, the family learns that the animal, renamed Isabella, has become integral to the farmer’s household.
Rather than presenting a simple reunion, the book frames a series of moral decisions. Gracie is initially relieved to find Patches, yet recognizes that the farmer’s family benefits from the horse’s presence. A personal prayer and a period of reflection lead Gracie to place others’ needs above her own desires. The narrative traces how her choices affect her relationships, responsibilities, and spiritual understanding.
Illustrations by Livya Howe and Leanna Weihold stresses the emotional arc of the story, giving visual cues that support discussions about empathy, stewardship, and growing up. The artwork complements the text to create teachable moments suitable for family reading and classroom discussion without advocating a single doctrinal perspective.
“My Friend PATCHES: Lost and Found” is positioned as a resource for parents, educators, and community leaders seeking literature that opens conversations about kindness, accountability, and faith-informed decision-making. The book explores how small acts of compassion can produce meaningful outcomes for both individuals and communities, and how personal growth often involves difficult choices.
David G. Toussaint draws on background in children’s storytelling and faith-informed themes to write stories that encourage moral reflection. Illustrators Livya Howe and Leanna Weihold collaborate to produce accessible visuals that resonate with young readers.
The book is available via major booksellers including Amazon.

By Hamlet Roy, Founder & Global CEO, MyTravaly
In a world where experiences matter more than possessions, Gen Z is redefining how we travel — and how we host. If you’re a young, first-time hotelier — maybe you’ve just taken over a family property, converted a homestay, invested your savings into a boutique stay, or leased a homestay in Himachal Pradesh or Goa — here’s your practical blueprint to thrive in the hotel business.
1. Think Digital First
Your guests live online — your hotel must too.
Build a user-friendly booking website.
List your property on trusted OTAs and travel marketplaces.
Stay active on social media — TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts showcase your vibe better than any brochure.
Pro Tip: Use tech tools like a Property Management System (PMS) to automate bookings, manage check-ins, and handle payments smoothly.
2.Curate Authentic Experiences
Today’s travelers want stories and local connections — not just a bed for the night.
Highlight local art, culture, and food.
Partner with nearby businesses — a café, trek guide, or craft store.
Host community events — open mics, wellness retreats, or pop-up kitchens.
3.Prioritize Sustainability
Gen Z travelers value eco-friendly stays — reflect that in your operations.
Offer sustainable amenities.
Minimise plastic use.
Support local suppliers and organic produce.
Involve guests in green practices during their stay.
4.Deliver Personalised Service
Fast Wi-Fi and clean rooms are standard. Your edge is making guests feel seen.
Remember returning guests’ preferences.
Give customised local recommendations.
Keep communication quick and warm — WhatsApp and Insta DMs work well.
5. Be Financially Smart
Revenue management isn’t just for large hotels.
Track bookings, expenses, and profits carefully.
Set dynamic pricing — adjust rates for peak and off-peak seasons.
Offer add-ons like guided tours or airport pickups to boost income.
Pro Tip: MyTravaly’s direct booking engine helps you promote your brand independently. It’s easy to set up — integrate the QR code or URL into your social media profiles and website. Plus, your daily booking collections settle automatically by the next day in your bank account, keeping your cash flow healthy and predictable.
6. Collect Reviews — and Respond!
A single positive review can bring you dozens of new bookings.
Always request feedback from satisfied guests.
Respond promptly to all reviews — both good and bad.
Use honest feedback to upgrade your service.
The Founding Story of MyTravaly
My journey as an entrepreneur began in the hotel business itself. I started out running a simple accommodation in Bengaluru, India. While managing day-to-day operations, I experienced firsthand the challenges hoteliers face — from attracting customers and managing bookings to handling payments and marketing on a tight budget.
From this experience, the idea of MyTravaly was born — an innovative marketplace designed to connect travelers and hoteliers worldwide. My vision was never to build just another booking platform but to create a complete ecosystem for hoteliers: a one-stop solution with all the premium tools they need — Property Management System (PMS), self-service portals, multi-currency payments, marketing support — at an affordable cost.
Founded in 2019, what started as one hotelier’s solution to his own struggles is today a global travel tech company empowering 10,000+ hotel partners and more than 1 million travelers with seamless, transparent, and community-driven travel experiences.
The Final Word
Running a hotel today is about blending tech, community, and genuine care. As a Gen Z hotelier, you’re perfectly placed to refresh traditional hospitality with fresh ideas and authentic connections.
Start small, stay curious — and let every guest become your brand ambassador.
Ready to grow?
At MyTravaly, we help first-time hoteliers list properties, manage bookings, and reach guests worldwide — all while staying fully in control of their business.
Connect. Host. Grow. The future of hospitality is young — and it starts with you.
