Hi, I’m Angela!

A Little About Me

Of the myriad things I’ll share with you about me on this site, the constant thread is that my life has consisted of storytelling as a vital currency all throughout.  Within my work as a designer, educator, artist, researcher, mentor, and colleague, every aspect is driven by the power of narrative and collaborative sensemaking – we share our stories and together we make meaning of the world around us.  As you read through my posts on what I do and who I’m humbled to get to work with, you’ll see that I’m driven by the singular goal of expanding access to education (across modalities, spaces and stakeholders).  I’m also driven by the power of metaphors, raw oysters, fading my hair, belly laughs, and a well-appointed mixtape.  Click below to read my full story, or click through my Projects and Things I Study for deep dives into my work, musings, and shenanigans.
