About

I'm Angie, designer and educator.

My path weaves together cinema, photography and systemic design.

I see design as a cultural practice and a critical space: a way to take a position, to build visual languages that resist simplification and to make systems that are not only functional but raise questions. For me design is an act of care, attention and resistance.
