Hi, I'm Angela
I believe that finding your dream home is just the beginning. My background in design & renovation gives me the ability to see not just what a home is, but what it could be. Let me help your home shine in preparation for sale, or find a gem of a property to make your own.
​
Born in a small Canadian prairie town of 500 people, I quickly started adventuring through life via the fashion and interior design industries. My travels first brought me to the French Canadian city of Montreal, then San Francisco and now Los Angeles. I began a path of entrepreneurship early on, starting multiple companies along the way, the longest standing of which was my main career for 17 years.
​
The juxtaposition of rural and urban has been a constant theme in my life, allowing me to appreciate a variety of lifestyles and personalities. I know what it's like to have deep roots in a place, while also understanding the feeling of being the "new kid in town" and trying to carve out a sense of home in a place unknown.

In July 2024 I teamed up with Anthony Lopez to form The Johnson & Lopez Group. Read more about how we work on our site at www.AngelaAndAnthony.com

Lately I've been enjoying exploring my hobbies of gardening, abstract painting, antiquing and working with the Boston Buddies dog rescue. My husband and I are currently living in the San Fernando Valley with our most recent foster fail, a Boston Terrier/Frenchie mix named Lizzie.

My Background
Running the Norwegian Wood design studio for the past 17 years taught me about hearing and understanding my clients needs, the power of design to solve functional problems and the power of professionalism to make everything run smoothly.
​
Now that I'm in the world of real estate I get to combine those skills with my passion for homes. After renovating multiple residential and commercial spaces I've come face to face with the challenges and joys of the process. I'd love to help you on your home journey with a focus on build quality and knowledge about the complexities of making the house you purchase your home.
​
Whether it's advising you on how to best prepare your home for sale, or helping you find the right house to meet your families needs, my background in business and design based problem solving helps the process move along smoothly every step of the way.
