I started creating and editing videos when I was younger just to have some fun! But as I've gotten older, I realized that the film industry is where I belong. In front of the camera. Behind the camera. Pre-production. Post-production. I just go where my heart takes me!

A lot of the projects I work on are for people that are branching out into the world of social content creation, and I'm a person that has user and creator experience. Because of that, I not only know what creators want but also what audiences like across several platforms.

Honestly, my biggest inspiration is the people I keep around me. My friends and family are some of the most creative and driven people I know. Simply being in the presence enables me to push beyond what I know I'm capable of.

This is something that I have put a lot of thought into. There may be times when I take fewer clients during the school year because the quality of work is important to me. However, this type of work excites me and I find the time during the week to get it done to the customer's request.

Hey! I'm Annie. Your go-to designer for creative things. ✌️

After earning my creative stripes at Algonquin College's Photography and Graphic Design programs in 2011 and 2020, I set out to pave my own path. After seven successful years freelancing in photography, I decided to shift gears to pursue my dream of becoming a brand and package designer. In my 5 years of designing, I've worked in a variety of industries, including: advertising, cannabis, alcohol, microbreweries, hospitality, lifestyle, medical, travel, and education. After working in reputable agencies &amp; studios in Ottawa I decided to take a leap into going full-time independent — which I'm stoked I did.

In my free time, I enjoy rummaging through antique shops, daydreaming about my next pair of Dr. Martens, and kicking off my work week with new tunes from Spotify—each and every Monday. Honestly, I'm an easygoing laidback gal that just likes the simple things in life. It isn't rare for me to go to a liquor store or a grocery store to look down the aisles to find inspiration for my next big project. The worlds an interesting place and you can find inspiration anywhere - honest.
