About

Hi, I’m Annabelle. I am a designer, art director and visual artist. Through my years of experience working closely with skilled teams, clients, and developers, as well as previously working for clients, I was able to hone my professional art direction skills. I am naturally born leader but can also take direction and believe it is important to always push myself forward not only as a designer but in all aspects of my life.

I am passionate about helping small businesses achieve big design goals. I have a deep love for branding development and web design. When I’m not creating art, you can find me snorkelling the nearby reef, cooking up a feast or exploring the jungle.
