Hello! I’m Angel Viator Smith (she/her).
I bring a data driven approach to problem solving to all my projects.
Equally adept at working independently as with working on a team, I also pull from over two decades of experience working collaboratively to nurture diverse communities through consensus building.
As a Latina game and comic book store owner, I have spent over a decade championing the importance of the inclusion and representation of underrepresented populations. From nurturing my store’s own diverse gaming community to presenting workshops on best practices for inclusive communities at global conferences such as SXSW and GenCon, my passion is bringing people together to exchange ideas for a better, more equitable future.
Amplify Play is one project I’ve created to be a resource focused on amplifying the work of underrepresented populations in the gaming industry and promoting the use of games to teach, inspire, & connect.
