Hi, I'm Anna.
Profile
Anna is a visual designer currently based in Boston, Massachusetts. Long before starting a career in design, an excess of creativity and love for visual storytelling led Anna to take an interest in all artistic mediums.
She would draw with her mom every morning before school, could sit in a car for hours reimagining a movie she'd just seen with friends, and took reverent interest in writing, animation, and fashion. Motivated to pursue these passions further, Anna studied graphic design, film production, and photography before landing as a founding member of an independent, in-house creative team. You can find her wherever there's live music, a museum, a great view, or a phone to call her parents.
Experience
Anna's creativity followed her to Framingham State University, where she earned her degree in Communication Arts with a concentration in Visual Media. While there, she gained experience with multiple forms of media, including graphic design, video production and editing, photography, and screenwriting. She collaborated several times with Department Heads and University Affiliates to create logos and signage throughout her studies.
​
In 2017, she began her professional career working as the Graphic Design and Social Media intern for Jack's Abby Craft Lagers, one of the largest craft breweries in New England. In the winter of 2018, she was hired on full time as their first in-house Graphic Designer, and within months she was their lead designer, maintaining consistent brand voice and image across Jack's Abby Brewing, their on-premise restaurant Jack's Abby Beer Hall and Kitchen, and their sister company Springdale Beer Co. She's collaborated with several local and national partners, including The Boston Celtics. Her work has been featured in Craft Beer and Brewing, Octoberfest Magazine, and on shelves throughout New England.
​
In 2020, her work was recognized at the Craft Beer Marketing Awards, honoring the best marketing and designs from across the world. The Springdale Beer Co. team was awarded three Crushies for excellence in Tap Handle Design, Brewery Rebranding, and Pandemic Marketing Strategy. Additionally, she organized and carried out the organization and implementation of Brandfolder: a file storage and sharing platform allowing partners of Jack's Abby and Springdale Beer Co. to access up-to-date, brand consistent files.
