On the hunt for my next Product Design role.
About
I'm Angela Schipano, Product Designer, based in Brooklyn. I tend to go back and forth between Brooklyn & Upstate. Some of my best work comes out of the wilderness. I've always been a creative and passionate about technology and its potential to serve people, which is why I enjoy UI design so much. I find it incredibly satisfying to create digital experiences that are both functional and enjoyable to use, and I believe that good design can have a positive impact on people's lives.
When I'm not creating, I love spending time with my family and cooking. I am a low-key chef. Traveling and food are two of my favorite things, and I'm always looking for new places to go and eat. I'm also an amateur mushroom cultivator, mushrooms are good for your mind, body, and soul, so I figured, why not grow my own? Can't not mention music… what's life without impromptu dance parties, just saying.
How about my work? The digital world as we know it is constantly changing. AI is here. I will use it to make my design work that much stronger. I’m not only used to innovating, I sincerely enjoy it; I thrive in an environment where I am constantly challenged, and pushing boundaries is acceptable.
