hey lady, I’m Anna…

I am a graphic designer, entrepreneur and in-demand creative mentor that harnesses 20 years of industry experience to enlighten, empower and elevate the businesses of graphic designers on a mission to make their mark (and have a sh*t load of fun doing it).

In addition to being a caffeine-worshipper and avid multi-tasker, I’m also a lady that has grown my career from humble professional beginnings. So humble, in fact, that one might even deem my first job as ‘soul-sucking’.

For ten years, I worked as a Mac monkey “designing” (I uses the term loosely) real estate ads.

Craving more – on my terms – I ventured into the business world and built a stationery biz from the ground up.

The equivalent of fun fling – but not my happily ever after – I sold my stationery biz after three years and thought to myself, ‘Hell, go big or go home, right?’

Since I was already home – ah, entrepreneurial life – I poured everything I had into building my design empire, Design With Style, which has since serviced thousands of female entrepreneurs across the globe and brings in a solid six figures year after year.

Of course, as an insatiable Gemini, I had energy to spare, which I invested in simultaneously founding and creating ROOOAR Magazine and the ROOOAR podcast. Designed by female entrepreneurs for female entrepreneurs, my magazine was endorsed by Sir Richard Branson himself … well, that’s what I took it to mean, since it was made available on all Virgin Australia domestic flights! The ROOOAR podcast was downloaded over 10,000 times.

After an immense three years, I sold ROOOAR so I could focus on my area of expertise: mentoring designers and working with creative female entrepreneurs from across the globe.

My most recent offerings Design Biz Bootcamp and Path to Profit both sold out within a week and has designer boss-ladies around the globe fist pumping and demanding mo’ money, mo’ respect!
