About
Block 81 is the design and development studio of Angie Herrera.
Hi, I’m Angie! I’ve been a designer and developer for over twenty years. In that time I’ve worked with a variety of clients in a variety of industries. Don’t mistake the lack of a niche or vertical for wandering or non-commitment—the same way design transcends any one space, so does my desire to work with awesome people in companies within an array of industries.
My diverse client history means I can take what I’ve learned and apply that knowledge to new projects and solutions, finding new ways to solve old problems. Through this and more, Block 81 becomes a piece of their puzzles, one block in a collection of others. And I’m hell bent on taking them where they want to go.
Just a one-person studio?
Not always! I work with amazing trusted partners with talent ranging in back-end web development, copywriting, search engine optimization, and custom CMS solutions.
Who Block 81 works with
SMBs, Non-Profits, Government Agencies
I love working with people who are dedicated to excelling in their industry. Most of my clients are small to medium sized businesses, but I’ve also worked with non-profits and government agencies. Although I’ve worked with clients in a variety of industries, I especially enjoy working with tech, manufacturing, sports, travel, and environment-focused brands.
Agencies & Creative Studios
Despite running a design studio on my own, I’m pretty dang good at collaborating and working with your team. I’ve worked with agencies and creative studios on projects that involved UX design, UI design, and development.
"From the beginning, Angie was easy to communicate with. The code she writes is clean and easy to read. Angie also communicates very well, so we never had to chase for updates. She even went so far as to record and narrate screen recordings to explain development challenges in depth for us to review when in other timezones."
We are very grateful for your help this year. Your speedy support and excellent communication is wonderful.
"Your company was the only one that took the time to really read my request, tailor your response, and called me to go deeper into our firm's needs."
"I felt as though Block 81 genuinely cared about my project and everything was created and presented in a thoughtful manner from start to finish. I now have a logo that I am proud to show off. Thank you Angie and Block 81 for making this a great experience!"
