Sequoia Schmidt

Founder

Meet Sequoia, a trailblazing entrepreneur in the world of publishing, born and raised in the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand. At the age of seventeen, Sequoia set out on her publishing journey during her last year of high school in Texas, where her passion for the written word ignited.

Her publishing career kicked off with the launch of HY magazine, a bold endeavor that showcased her determination and creative spirit. Although HY magazine eventually faced setbacks, Sequoia's resilience led her to create After Dark, a nightlife magazine that delved into the vibrant world of Houston's nightlife scene.

It was through her perseverance and connections that she crossed paths with music artist Slim Thug, sparking the birth of Di Angelo Publications. In 2010, the company released its first book, "How to Survive in a Recession," marking the beginning of a remarkable publishing journey.

As the founder of Di Angelo Publications, Sequoia nurtured the company's growth, publishing numerous other titles in the following years. The success of the business afforded her the opportunity to pursue her love for adventure, embracing high altitude mountaineering, BASE jumping, and various adrenaline-fueled escapades.

  • With a vision to adapt to the modern era, Di Angelo Publications evolved in 2020, shifting its focus to distribution and acquiring a warehouse in Idaho. This strategic move enabled DAP to directly connect with its consumers, ushering publishing into a new age with a hybrid distribution model encompassing both traditional trade and modern e-commerce.

    Sequoia's boundless passion and commitment to her team have enabled Di Angelo Publications to bring powerful stories to the market, leaving an indelible mark on the ever-evolving digital landscape. As a modernized publishing firm, DAP remains at the forefront of the industry, ready to conquer the cutting-edge challenges of the digital world.
