Angela Granados - Creative Lead (Art)

 

Hola, I’m Ángela

 

Hola! I’m Ángela, a Colombian-American based in NYC.
Armed with two degrees: one in Advertising, one in Art & Graphic Design, and a Master's in Art Direction from Miami Ad School, I’m an innate storyteller, an art enthusiast, and a visual artist. I have particular attention to detail, and I also bring a multilingual, multicultural touch to all my creative endeavors, I'm a technology addict, a highly caffeinated person, and a fashion lover, and I believe in soccer karma and no spoilers.

I learned how to create video games in my first job. I moved from one place to another, from Miami to Paris, San Francisco to Milan to New York collecting agency experience. In that process, my work has been awarded 20-something times by The One Show, A' design, Clios Key Art, Applied Arts, AdWeek ISSAC, and Future Lions. I have been featured in Adobe, Ads of the World, Taxi Design, and other publications.

I’ve worked in 360i, Publicis Luxury 133 in Paris, Y&R NYC and San Francisco,  PI&C NYC, and ITALY, iCrossing - Hearts Magazines in NYC, Vayner Media NYC, MEX, and CAD, Freelance at PXP Studios Publicis and Verizon (Brand side), before joining Edelman Assembly as VP, Creative Director - Art for Microsoft and LinkedIn.

I have a talent for inspiring people and a glib to sell air. I like challenges, I like simplicity, I love social media and I always give my best. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty, and I would help my teams however I can. Last fun fact (I promised) I’m also, writing and illustrating my upcoming book.

Let’s chat
