Angela has previously worked at Productora in Mexico City and under Adrian Phiffer in Toronto, regularly collaborating on architectural competition projects. She has received funding support from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council, and has exhibited her work internationally, participating in artist residencies in South Korea and the United States.
