Long before Anahvia had a name, Karla Trice was already living much of the philosophy behind it. A Bronx, New York native and licensed funeral director, Karla built a career that routinely placed her alongside people experiencing some of life's heaviest moments. Creativity became one of the ways she cared for herself. She painted. She worked with flowers. She explored new ways of making things simply because she genuinely enjoyed it.
Years later, that same philosophy would show up inside Blossom Bar Houston without her deliberately setting out to build a business around it. As the concept began growing, her oldest brother gave her a piece of advice that stayed with her: "Small things become big things."
His point was simple. She was enjoying what she was building, and other people were enjoying it too. It did not have to begin as her biggest dream to become something meaningful. That is exactly what happened.
Today, Karla leads Anahvia with intention, creativity, and a deep commitment to creating spaces where people feel seen, connected, and inspired.
