After a long successful career in retail at huge global companies like the Gap and Old Navy, Anne suddenly and unexpectedly got laid off.  She was devastated. Her entire identity was associated with her fancy corporate job. After struggling to land another job, Anne decided enough was enough. She decided to bring a box of art supplies up from the basement and explore her creative side. She discovered surface pattern design and was HOOKED. Anne now has a thriving business that brings her joy every day.
