Hello, I’m Anna!
No design lives in a vacuum, which is where I come in. With the experience of creating unique works within preset boundaries for the last five years, I thrive in providing solutions consistent with predetermined branding. It is similar to creating a harmonic vocal part to a melody in music (yes, I am a singer too)!
Coming from being in the e-commerce field for the last three years, I have expertise in to creating and editing assets, as well as producing marketing materials to facilitate sales and educate customers my clients’ products.
Moreover, coming from a family with an ad printing business, I am a tactile materials aficionado. Nothing makes me happier than a unique print with a nice paper texture.
