Hi, I’m Angel.

I’m a creative director and experience designer who helps brands connect with their audiences through thoughtful, well-crafted design. With a foundation in visual communication, human-centered design, and craftsmanship, I bring a strategic, research-driven mindset and a deep attention to detail to every stage of the process.

Over the past decade, I’ve explored my passion for problem-solving across a wide range of design disciplines—from exhibition and interactive design to healthcare, technology, and CPG. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with diverse teams and refined my skills as a multifaceted creative, always driven by curiosity and care.

Holding a BFA in Graphic Design and a Master's in Design for Emergent Futures, I’m especially interested in how emerging technologies intersect with critical frameworks like AI, post-human-centered design, inclusive design, and low-tech systems. I also share my experience through mentorship for individuals and small brands, supporting others in navigating their creative journeys.

Beyond design, I’m deeply engaged with craft, mindfulness, and cultural heritage. I’ve practiced pottery for over a decade—training with master potters in the mountains of North Carolina and Japan—and continue to explore craft as a form of self-discovery. This hands-on practice shapes my design philosophy, grounding it in materiality, process, and intention.
