Breathing in, holding, feeling my body change, controlling—it challenges my physical limits with every breath. This is free diving, a sport that pushes the boundaries of human capability. This journey beneath the waves has become the heartbeat of my life philosophy, blending awe and complexity into everything I do. Preparation, coordination, and mindfulness are crucial, and these principles guide my approach to my work.

I’m Angela Lu, a Los Angeles-based graphic designer passionate about evoking emotions, sparking curiosity, and building lasting connections through every project.
