We had the good fortune of connecting with Angela Danielle and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Angela Danielle, what do you attribute your success to?

I think the most important factor behind my success is my Individuality. During my time working at MAC, as its independently owned company, every artist had their own freedom to express their personality, style & unique way of representing themselves. That’s what attracted certain people and clients to want their preferred type of artist. My mentor had once told me that no matter how much an individual can duplicate a look or style, your energy is what will bring you your own success. Staying true to who I am and constantly reminding myself that no matter what kind of success I obtain or get to- I will continue to stay as raw, humble and warm as I can be. Trusting that the rest will align and follows as it should. What’s meant for me- will be. In addition to that, another important factor is to never stop doing the work- nothing is handed. Saying so many YES’ to jobs, free jobs, cheap jobs and putting in your dues to establish who you are will build your reputation.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
There’s so much talent in my industry. This may go for others as well- I’m in no way of having the mindset of competition. I am big on collaboration and supporting others. I come from a background of being bullied, sadly, one of too many experiences heard- The healing journey I had to do for myself is never ending. To get to where I am today took so much work. It’s fulfilling for me to bring out someone else’s happiness and beauty when they don’t see it in themselves. If one person can do that- imagine what memory they’ll have from that experience moving forward. There’s so much room for everyone to have a clientele. To help people feel good about themselves & to experience joy. It makes me proud to do that for anyone I encounter. Turning Pain into Purpose-is my brand.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?

I LOVE wining & dining. So anywhere with an ambience and good food. SD is always up to something new. Of course, the shopping at UTC Mall. Also, I got married at the Prado in Balboa park. It brings back nostalgic feelings with the stroll in SD weather – you can never go wrong.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?

If you know me, you know I dedicate a lot of my gratitude to my husband, Theo Deocampo & my big sis, Kathleen Canda. Without them, I would’ve never believed in myself nor have the idea that I could make my talents & passion as a career. My purpose also roots from raising my kids. Although all of them were unexpected (lol) they give me purpose, drive and among many other things. I want to show them what hard work, ethics & determination is and anything you want to do-you can do it. I want them to watch me and says “my mom really did her thing!” Once you put in your heart & soul into something you love will shine its way through. Giving up shouldn’t be a choice if you really want something. Lastly, my clients. Finding my way in a city I didn’t grow up in was really challenging. After chasing my passions, people were able to view me for me & I was really able to establish & show my true colors which finally made me feel like I can call SD my home. So to all of my clients and future clients who not only love my work and what I do- Thank you for seeing me in a light I’m happy to be in & Thank you for building bonds that I’ll never take what we share for granted.
