about

Hi, I’m Diana Angeles—a third-year architecture student at Cal Poly Pomona in the NAAB-accredited Bachelor of Architecture program. My work lives at the intersection of conceptual design, bold experimentation, and resilience. Architecture has challenged me in every way imaginable—from late-night render crashes to moments of breakthrough—and each step has strengthened not only my technical skills, but my love for the process.

I see design as an opportunity to push the envelope. I’m drawn to projects that stray from the traditional and invite curiosity—buildings that spark questions and stand as testaments to creativity, engineering, and human imagination. That drive has been recognized through multiple AIAS Interim nominations and the Outstanding Second-Year Design Award, honors that reflect the passion and persistence I bring to every project.

Whether I’m developing a site-responsive massing study, experimenting with abstract circulation, or troubleshooting a 3D print at 2 a.m., I aim to make work that is contextual, expressive, and human-centered. My academic foundation includes design studios exploring program, structure, and material; coursework in structures, environmental controls, and construction systems that ground my designs in tectonic reality; and history courses that deepen my awareness of cultural storytelling.

Beyond studio, I’ve worked at Cal Poly’s Learning Resource Center while also running independent digital fabrication projects—3D printing models for peers and refining workflows through trial and error. I am also part of Cal Poly’s inaugural Architecture Student Publication, where I contributed a custom typeface and the guiding visual concept for the first issue, blending my love of graphic design with architectural storytelling.

At the core of everything I do is a commitment to growth, curiosity, and perseverance. I don’t design for perfection—I design for evolution. Each project is an ongoing conversation, layered with intention, iteration, and storytelling.

Currently seeking Winter + Summer 2026 Internship Opportunities in the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles County.
