I love design thinking because it turns curiosity into solutions - helping me approach problems with empathy & creativity
A Brief
Angela Calvin.
Co-founder
& Creative Director
Part UX strategist, part illustration sorceress, Angie brings big energy and bold ideas to every project. Whether she’s dreaming up smart micro-interactions or sketching out quirky illustrations, she’s always designing with feeling — and with flair.She’s led the UX and visual direction on complex mobile apps, branded illustration systems, and social media campaigns for mission-driven startups and nonprofits alike. Her secret sauce? A knack for pulling unexpected ideas from unexpected places — then translating them into design solutions that stand out and stick.When she’s not prototyping your next big idea, you’ll find her dancing. Literally. Angie is also a trained Afro-Latin dance instructor and performer, with a deep love for salsa, bomba, and samba. P.S.: She wants to let it be known that she definitely doesn’t hoard the font files… that’s more of a Dara thing ;-)

Q
Where are you from?
I’m originally from Harlem, NY, grew up and attended university in Las Cruces, NM, and spent over a decade in San Diego, CA before settling in Atlanta, GA. I now split my time between here and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
How does your background influence your approach to design?
I’m a visual artist, dancer, and writer, which has shaped my creative approach to design. I blend expression, intuition, and sensory awareness to interpret and craft engaging visual experiences.
What are you reading or listening to these days?
I recently read “Children of Blood and Bone”, an Afro-futurist novel by Tomi Adeyemi. I tend to find a good Spotify radio genre I like or listen to the daily mixes curated from all the songs I liked. One of my favorite artists right now is Emmavie.
What do you usually do in your spare time?
I love to dance - especially Afro-Latin forms like salsa, samba, and bomba. I try to hit up various classes several times a week. It’s great exercise, and a great way to unwind after spending the day in front of a monitor!
How do you collaborate as a team, and what makes your partnership unique?
We lean on each other’s strengths, letting the best person take the lead without ego. As life partners, this makes us a highly efficient and effective team.
Favorite foods/drinks?
This is a hard one. I like alot of different types of foods. My favorite foods are Latin and Asian. For drinks, I enjoy a good craft dark beer or fancy cocktail.
Any guilty pleasures?
I'm a HUGE binger of streaming shows on different platforms. I can watch several shows at one time!
What kind of projects excite you the most?
I love working on playful, purpose-driven designs that make complex ideas feel simple and engaging. For me this really sparks my creativity.
