Founder & Team | Austin Moss Creations

Mary Cowger

Founder & CEO

Austin Moss Creations was founded by Mary Cowger to bring nature, artistry, and technical precision into commercial environments — preserved botanical systems built to an architectural standard, not decorative afterthoughts.

Every wall is composed in-house by AMC's moss artisans and delivered specification-ready, with the documentation architects, designers, and general contractors expect from a Division 09 finish — supported by certified installers and trade partners in carpentry, lighting, and fabrication nationwide.

From hotel brands and corporate headquarters to healthcare and hospitality interiors, AMC serves the teams responsible for delivering commercial spaces — from concept through nationwide installation.
