Entrepreneur Essentials with Jeff Kikel feat. Angela’s Accents

Jeff Kikel

Angela Hobbs-Lopez left her career as a children’s Psychologist in the pursuit of a business she loves! She finds beauty in the most unsuspecting places in a business to refurbish furniture: taking old and forgotten to create something fresh! We wanted to find out what inspired her drastic change and how her vision became a reality.

Angela has garnered 10 years of education with a Master in Psychology and yet has chosen to pursue a small business in refurbishing and redesigning furniture and handbags. She carries her ability to see through the sadness of the forgotten and find value in both people and old furniture. Her dream is to take off in her business: Angela’s Accents and give back through an apprenticeship program for Adolescents in need of guidance and creative outlets.
