Mentoring

I wouldn’t be where I am today in my creative journey without my mentors. It’s important to me to give back and stay involved with new talent, so I am a mentor and tutor to university and high school students pursuing creative careers.

I am a formal mentor and tutor to university and high school students pursuing creative careers and occasionally guest lecture at my alma mater, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), and frequently mentor local, national, and international design competitions.

When people find what they love, what the world needs, and what they are good at, their Ikiagi, that’s where the magic happens. I love being a part of that process.

Bring me your portfolios and midnight questions. I'd love to connect.

    Angela is one of those people where it can quickly feel like you've known them for years. In our mentorship session, this translated into an approachability, compassion, and goal-driven approach that I would expect from a much longer relationship. She's especially proficient in discussions around accessibility, networking, and navigating areas of opportunity. Schedule a session with Angela and you won't be disappointed.
