Before she knew the job had a name, Angie was already doing it in her head. A confusing website here, a frustrating app there, and the same question each time: who decides how this should feel, and why didn’t they get it right? When she found out the answer was a UX designer, a field few people around her had even heard of, she knew what she wanted to do.
Angie loves minimal, modern design: clean layouts, plenty of space, nothing extra. But she also believes the digital world could use more images worth remembering. Her illustration training at SVA lets her add exactly that, giving each product a look of its own and visuals that tell a story, without losing the clarity she values. Clean can still be unforgettable.
“Lead the AI, don’t be led by it.”
Right now, she’s the UX designer on STAiGE, an AI web app that helps classrooms create a play together. She led early research into drama-based learning and human–AI co-creation, and designed the core user flow. What excites her most is who it’s for: teachers get an easy tool for building lessons, students get a more playful way to learn, and the product has real potential to reach classrooms beyond the lab. It’s also where she lives her motto.
Away from the screen, Angie is rarely still: she lifts, climbs indoors and rides her bike outside whenever she can. Her favorite meal is hot pot, the spicier the better. And since a designer’s schedule doesn’t leave much time for the outdoors, she brings nature home instead, filling her space with plants and fresh flowers. You’ll find all three on the desk on her homepage.
