Hi, I’m Anna!
I am a graphic designer and artist based in Pensacola, Florida, currently working as a Lead Creative Strategist at OuterBox.
Art has been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. It began with drawing scribbles and using every crayon color available at a young age, and has grown into creating work for a wide variety of clients every day, all while keeping the fearless imagination of my younger self.
I studied at The University of Alabama and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with a secondary concentration in Drawing. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with brands both small and large, each shaping the designer I am today.
I believe good design comes to life through connection, balance, and immense curiosity. I carry this mindset into every project I work on.
When I am not designing, I enjoy beach days with my husband, maintaining my Strava streak, and scrolling Goodreads to find my next 5-star book.
