Photographer
ART DIRECTOR
DESIGNER

I’m Anna! I spent most of my childhood being a country bumpkin up in Geraldton before moving to Perth as a young adult. I’ve always been a creative soul, exploring everything from painting and drawing to digital art, crafting, design, and pretty much anything that lets me make something from scratch.


My creative path really started to take shape through volunteering in advertising and marketing for Curtin Games and Esports, where I explored social media, graphic design and visual communication. Through my Advertising Design course, I also gained experience in art direction, concept development and building ideas into complete visual outcomes.


Through university, conventions and the cosplay community, I found a space where I could bring all of those interests together. That led me into photography and set building, giving me the chance to design environments, build physical sets and bring concepts from the initial idea through to the final image.


What started as a mix of different creative interests has grown into a passion for making work that feels playful, personal and visually considered, while creating memorable experiences for the people I work with.

What I Believe

The best work happens between planning and play, where movement, expression and unexpected moments become worth more than just photos

I’m drawn to work that feels fun, expressive and a little unexpected. Whether I’m designing a set, building a concept or creating images, I like finding ways to make the final result feel full of personality and genuinely memorable.


A lot of my work comes from enjoying the process just as much as the outcome. I like experimenting, making things by hand, collaborating with people and turning simple ideas into something that feels more immersive, playful and visually aesthetic.
