Angelica completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in architecture from the University of Chile, including a year of exchange at ENSAPB in France. She earned her Master of Architecture and Urbanism with Distinction from the Design Research Laboratory (DRL) at the Architectural Association (AA) in London. She has taught advanced digital design at the AA DRL, AA Diploma, and the University of Chile.

Angelica’s experience across Chile, France, and the UK has given her a broad perspective on different architectural approaches. She values the use of technology and geometry to maximise resources and minimise waste. Beyond work, she enjoys architectural and portrait photography and travelling.
