Our Team
Angelica is an inspiring and innovative designer who thrives on collaboration and enjoys design processes that bring together transdisciplinary knowledge, communities and multiple stakeholders. Her diverse experience enables her to integrate the different perspectives and inputs that come together during the design process into coherent outcomes.
"Every project, no matter its size, has the potential to contribute to its local, regional and global contexts. We live in times where every single project becomes an opportunity to channel our collective creative capacity towards more regenerative ways of living and practising."
Through her practice-focused PhD research, she has developed an approach that recognises the design process's ability to enable agency (individual and collective), support communities through significant change and increase living systems awareness while designing built environments. She has taught Design Studios and Regenerating Sustainability subjects at the Melbourne School of Design. Her work has been presented in conferences and published in books, industry publications and design competitions.
