The 40 Under 40 Awards annually recognize an elite class of “homebuilding superstars” who represent the next generation of industry leaders and innovators in the nation.
Angela was recognized for her entrepreneurial vision, artistic talent, and business acumen as the Principal and Creative Director of the design firm, TRIO Environments. Beginning as a single-employee business in her parents’ basement and weathering an economic downturn, TRIO is now one of the most highly-regarded, fastest growing interior design and visual merchandising firms in the nation. It has helped to generate over $7 billion in revenue for commercial and residential clients and expects to double in size over the next three years, expanding into new national and international markets.
Also impressing the judges were Angela’s commitment to sustainable design—she earned a Master’s in Sustainable Design from Philadelphia University in 2009—and her leadership in the homebuilding industry, where she is a founding member of the Professional Women in Building Committee and chaired the Sales & Marketing Council (SMC) of the Home Builders Association (HBA) of Metro Denver, winning Best SMC in the nation for two years straight.
