Rodney Villarreal

Rodney Villarreal was born in Corpus Christi, Texas. He moved to Houston, Texas to study Interior Design at the Art Institute of Houston, and later trained under two well known interior designers, Richard Holley (Houston, Texas) and James Isola (New Orleans, Louisiana). Mr. Villarreal has owned his own design business for the past twelve years, and his work has been published in local and national publications. Four years ago, Mr. Villarreal moved from the Central Business District to the French Quarter. With all the historic beauty and benefits of living in the French Quarter, he soon also realized many of the issues that strain the French Quarter. It was at that point he decided to take action and joined VCPORA and French Quarter Citizens to work toward preserving the integrity of this national historic neighborhood. One of Mr. Villarreal’s personal interests is fundraising for non-profit organizations, which include St. Michael’s Special School, Immaculate Conception Church, and numerous others. He has been involved in fundraising for the past 12 years.
