Hey there,

Call me Angela. I'm a graphic designer, multidisciplinary illustrator, and geek-culture enthusiast based in San Diego, CA.

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 2018. In my time at SDSU, I have also interned at Labels Lab and notably, HRO Design, Inc. to create digital and print concept work for clients such as Hasbro, Spin Master, Nickelodeon, and more. There's also a saying to never forget your roots no matter how far you've come, so it's definitely worth mentioning that I can also roll a mean burrito thanks to my time at Chipotle, too.

Currently, I'm a part of our Creative Team Megazord as a Senior Visual Designer for the San Diego/Denver-based SaaS company, Housecall Pro. Constantly learning, I work hard to advance creative marketing solutions and make an impact for Pros within various Home Service industries, as well as within the Tech space in my own way. I consider it one of my life's great honors that I get to grow and collaborate with so many amazing people, and am very grateful for what we get to do together.
