ANGELA j. SMITH
"Angela is my go-to Production Designer in Portland. I have brought her a wide range of projects, and she is always ready to take on whatever challenge I throw her way. She understands the limitations and needs of each unique situation and is quickly able to build a plan and seamlessly execute it, on time and under budget. She is well rounded and is truly able to solve every type of problem; from dressing a house, to finding that one impossibly specific prop, to building a complete set from scratch on a stage."
Max Solomon- Senior Creative Producer - Revery Productions

She is a valuable asset to have on any project, and I always look forward to working with her."

I would be honored and thrilled to recommend her as a set decorator for any production."

"Angela encompasses the intangibles that someone in my position requires from a Set Decorator on location. She is not only a hard worker; but she is smart, task driven and resourceful. Angela thoroughly knows the script and is great at anticipating solutions before a problem arises. Her knowledge of her craft and willingness to go the extra mile are the intangibles I spoke of earlier. Film production is a never ending stream of problem solving and trouble shooting and she excels at both. Angela is not only respected, she is valued."
