Deeply passionate about self-knowledge and connection, Angela devotes her life to being true to her path.  This creative journey led her to co-creating the Market Collective (Canada) in 2008 - 2018. After a decade on this project, she achieved a point of personal completion, and moved forward to embark on her next chapter.

In 2019, Angela relocated to Sweden, where she was completing her MFA in Design at the Högskolan för Design och Konsthantverk - The Academy of Design and Craft at the University of Gothenburg. Her specialization was Child Culture Design with a focus on advocacy for children and society.

Angela now lives on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia (Canada). As a mother, designer, researcher and maker, she is situated on the unceded Coast Salish Territory of the Tsawwassen, W̱SÁNEĆ, the Stz’uminus Peoples and the Hul’qumi’num Treaty. Her research and practice-based explorations focus on natural materiality in craft and design with an additional interest in working with children in a place-based approach. With her background in woodworking, Angela investigates the act of making within the context of natural materiality. Through this work, she also uses life-writing to further examine the relationship between human and more-than-human beings.

Angela has recently completed her Master of Design at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, Canada with her thesis: Designing for Connection - The liminal space of interbeing — an immersive inquiry into becoming in a more-than-human world.
