She has hands-on experience with a range of Public Interest Design projects domestically and internationally.

With a strong focus on community development, she has played a key role in strategic planning and implementing ideas that positively influence and benefit the community as a whole.
She has extensive experience across a broad spectrum of residential project types, including garden-style and podium-style mixed-use multi-family apartments, townhomes, ADUs/DADUs, and single-family residences. Additionally, she has worked on various tenant improvements for commercial spaces, such as restaurant interiors, drive-thru coffee concession stands, fitness centers, industrial warehouses, and veterinary clinics.
Angie integrates the value of community building into every project, actively seeking collaboration with like-minded community members. Her goal is to break down barriers and create social and equitable impacts through her work.
