I have more than 15 years of experience leading design and have worked with well-known brands like Virgin, Budget, and Twitter. I have extensive experience in product design, branding, marketing communications, and team development for agencies and studios in Denver, London, and Portland. Most recently, I led product design and UX research at fintech and health tech startups in NYC and San Francisco. I am well-versed in wearing multiple hats to move a product or a startup forward.
I have a BFA in graphic design and MA from Denmark’s Design School, where I explored participatory design in textiles and exhibited at Berlin’s International Design Festival. I’m infinitely curious about brain science and driven by collaboration and meaningful work.
When I’m not obsessed with components and creating outstanding digital experiences, I’m out hiking and listening to podcasts like Freakonomics or traveling to Oakland. I’m also passionate about supporting nature and am restoring an acreage in Iowa to native prairie.

Angie drove the entire site redesign at SmartAsset a few years back, combining thorough UX research, modern user interfaces and sharp design to take our product to a whole new level. She also built up the internal SmartAsset design team, fostering a culture of collaboration between product, technology and design; attention to detail, careful research, and thoughtful and user-centric design.”
