We're so excited to have Angelica in our team! She brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our company.
Angelica is new mother to a beautiful baby girl born on Cinco de Mayo.
"When I was a little girl, I wanted to be just like my mom. She was a vegetarian and I thought that I had to be vegetarian to be just like her. That following weekend my mother made bacon with breakfast. I went up to my mom bawling my eyes out and cried “Mom I can’t be like you, I want bacon!”"

Baker Associates was founded in 1959 on the principle of continuously striving to improve the design of our built environment. From our downtown office we began our work – we have a rich history working on some of Minneapolis’ most iconic downtown buildings and structures, including the IDS Center, TCF Tower, bank buildings, and the skyway system.
Sixty years and hundreds of projects later, our multi-disciplinary team continues to apply their passion for the craft of architecture and design to this founding principle. Our work – on a wide range of projects over the years – illustrates this passion and the firm’s forward thinking approach as we build upon our history and continue to improve the built environment – for today and tomorrow.
PHILOSOPHY
Understanding what our clients need is crucial to our design process, and we recognize that these needs go beyond what is put on paper. Working with Baker Associates is an experience unlike any other, as we provide personalized support and empathy to our clients throughout the duration of their projects. Our philosophy and process is designed so we walk through the design journey with you.
Baker Associates approaches each project with an entrepreneurial spirit. To us, there is no such thing as the status quo – each client, project, and partnership is unique. Each is an opportunity to build upon our years of experience with fresh eyes and ideas to create projects that both meet client needs and improve the design of the built environment.
Together we imagine, inspire, and create.
Imagine
At the core of our philosophy and process is collaboration and communication. We thrive on creating a dialogue with our clients, hearing what they have to say, building trust, and connecting with them on a human and artful level. We listen. We analyze. Then we design. We translate information into unique solutions that not only exceed expectations of both form and function, but also connect to who the client really is, developing a human connection to the spaces we create.
Inspire
As we begin the journey with our clients our team is always motivated and encouraging. Our clients inspire us. It is our desire to bring clients along the design journey with us, supporting them so they can dream and design alongside us, excited about the ideas and the connections to their lives. So they can relish the process as the concepts start to come to life. We are an all-encompassing resource for architecture and design services – and an excited partner in our clients’ journey.
Create
At Baker Associates we want to shape each your vision with knowledge gained from decades of experience and make it a reality. Design is a journey. We want to be your advocate – your design partner – and guide you through the design process, creating intuitive solutions along the way. With consistency, reliability, and true partnership we will articulate your individual story though architecture and design.
