Hey there,

Call me Angela. I'm a graphic designer, multidisciplinary illustrator, and geek-culture enthusiast based in the United States.

Currently, I have been a part of our Creative Team Megazord as a Senior Visual Designer for the San Diego/Denver-based SaaS tech company, Housecall Pro since 2019. Constantly learning, my team & I work hard as utility players to advance creative marketing solutions and make an impact for SMB Businesses & Pros within various Home Service industries. Additionally, with the company's partnership of Conquer, an elite business coaching solution, and BuildBook, a software subsidiary focused Residential Construction companies, my team and I also bring our signature, Swiss Army knife of creative skills to help bolster these sub-brands as well.

As far as formal education, I received my BA with an emphasis in Graphic Design, graduating Summa Cum Laude with distinction in Art from San Diego State University's School of Art+Design. In my time at SDSU, I am fortunate to have been a part of the program's Graphic Design Studio to work with clients on campus as well as to have interned with Labels Lab LLC and  HRO Design, Inc. to create digital and print concept work for clients such as Hasbro, Spin Master, Nickelodeon, and more. I am also a self-taught illustrator that's continuously been honing my freehand drawing skills ever since I can hold a pencil.

I absofruitly love that I get to grow and collaborate with so many amazing people, and am very grateful for what we get to do together.

GOAL
To collaborate, iterate, and recommend based on a project’s unique requirements, while embracing vibrance, boldness, and clever design to create timeless & accessible creative solutions.
