I am Angelica and I am a BA Product Design student at Nottingham Trent University. I find designing a way to express my creativity and a way to connect life and art.

I also enjoy traveling and getting to know about different cultures as it is very inspiring to me. My passion for product design gives huge motivation for me in the projects that I’ve done throughout this year. My organization and creativeness had lead to the production of innovative and relevant works.
