Giving Back
Design that
gives back.
Angelica is very active in supporting the local community — giving the studio’s craft, creativity, and time to causes across the Valley and beyond.
Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors
Angelica and her team have been involved with Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors, a foundation that builds and remodels handicap-accessible homes to suit the individual needs of our injured United States military veterans. Our team designed a residence to suit an amazing veteran — including a special functional piece of art created to reflect the wounded warrior’s rustic style, serving as a lasting tribute to the courage, dedication, and strength he displayed when serving our country.
Habitat for Humanity
Angelica has also donated time, alongside ASID Arizona North, to Habitat for Humanity — spending time on homesites to help ready them for families in need of safe and affordable homes.
Independent Women’s Luncheon
Our team participated multiple years in the Phoenix Art Group Independent Women’s Luncheon, which was one of the Valley’s most beloved philanthropic events. The luncheon celebrated the Valley’s premier design community as they came together in support of Phoenix Art Museum: participants designed tablescapes showcasing their creativity, and the tables were then auctioned off, benefiting the museum’s commitment to excellence in visual arts and education.
Iconic Haus
Iconic Haus was a virtual tour of a stunning luxury designer showhouse in Paradise Valley, which served as a fundraiser for the Heart Center at Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
For the animals
A lifelong animal lover, Angelica also volunteers with local rescue organizations, aiding both wildlife and domestic pets.
Design for Hope
“Design for Hope,” a partnership between Stardust Building Supplies and ASID Arizona North, involved designing and remodeling kitchens for three low-income families in need of safe, functional spaces. The designers were challenged to use donated materials — cabinets, appliances, and fixtures from Stardust — refinishing, repurposing, and reinterpreting them to suit each client’s needs and style. Angelica and her team accepted the challenge and designed a kitchen for one of the families. The standout feature: air-filter metal inserts. Angelica removed the geometric metal overlay from air filters found at Stardust and incorporated them as decorative metal inserts in the cabinetry — an unexpected material, reinvented into a signature detail.
