Most of yous know me well and have probably landed here because you have either bought my design goods or even worked with me in the heyday of my fashion time - but for the rest of yous, here’s a short intro 🤌🏻
One of those ‘generalists’, I often didn’t fit into traditional roles as I wanted to do a bit of everything. Turns out, that was useful in a way I didn’t understand just yet - I was building an intuition and taste detector upon which my business would soon stand 🌈
So, whether you’re in your 5th rebrand or haven’t made your first moodboard, I’ve built:
🌀 Yearly trend reports (based on real cultural + visual shifts)
🎨 200k+ curated design assets
✍️ A variety of workshops to find your brand’s tone, look, and pace
All designed to help you experiment, evolve, and build something that you love 💅🏻
DM me with ideas, questions and requests - I am here for yous 🤍
Over’n’out,
Angela

Meet @angelainthefields , one of the Studio 2am creators and a genuine favourite around here. 🌀❤️
Angela’s work sits right at the intersection of trend forecasting and design. She tracks culture obsessively, sits on obscure Reddits, watches graduate shows, follows companies nobody else is watching, and connects the dots into something you can actually use. The result is assets that feel ahead of the curve rather than chasing it.
Her approach is refreshingly pragmatic too. She’s clear-eyed about the difference between a fleeting Pinterest moment and a real cultural shift, and her work reflects that. Her shop on Studio 2am is full of modern, slightly urban, slightly experimental pieces that always seem to land a few months before everyone else catches on.
Have a browse through her shop, and follow her for the trend reports while you’re at it. Worth it on both counts. @angelainthefields
sometimes i take out the good ol’ label maker to make a good point 🤌🏻

minimalism redefined: it can be anything you want it to be. minimal colour palettes; minimal intervention; minimal element amount, minimal contrast. It does beg though, to be carefully considered - and thoroughly thought through 💡

i have too many ✨opinions✨ what do you think? Cray cray or yay?
