About
I’m Annabel. I design by trade and live creatively by soul. My toes are currently dug into Atlanta, and I serve the community of Suwanee, Georgia, 5 days per week. I collect and catalogue anything within or without reason. I love colorful clothes and went surfing once.
With almost a decade of experience, I’ve partnered with fascinating individuals, from local government to talented musicians. I’ve won some awards along the way, but for me, gratification comes from good problem-solving and finding that “secret third option”. I love giving old designs a makeover (and creating new ones) through joyful collaboration and thoughtful strategy.
I believe love, continuous learning, and living exploratively lead to exceptional design. It turns out that if you are curious about life, put in the effort, listen, and give a damn, the results speak for themselves. The secret is everything after the 9-5. When I’m not at my desk in City Hall, I’m walking barefoot, treasure hunting, watercoloring, journaling, or enjoying time with my two kittens and fiancèe.
