Born in Adelaide, Australia, Angelo Adamo brings an international perspective and multidisciplinary background to his design work. After moving to Chicago in 1996 to work for Motorola as a wellness program administrator, Angelo simultaneously pursued a modelling career with Elite Model Management, contributing to editorial work for brands such as Lea Jeans, Jill Sander, and American Crew.

His longstanding passion for fashion, architecture, and interiors led him to earn a degree in Interior Architecture from Harrington College of Design. He went on to refine his aesthetic in New York City, working with esteemed firms Sandra Nunnerley Inc. and Darren Henault Interiors.

Angelo later expanded his expertise in North Carolina, where he served as Senior Designer on major commercial and hospitality projects, including the Wake Forest Sports Performance Center, Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts, Pike Electric Headquarters, Burger Batch restaurants, and the Yen Yoga Center at the Delamar Hotel in Michigan.
