In My Own Words
HI!
I’m Anya!
Let me tell you a bit about me.
I have a genuine passion for the creative process. I love researching trends, gathering inspiration, building concepts, and designing products. Seeing the vision come to life brings me so much joy.
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to have built a wealth of knowledge in all aspects of running and operating an apparel & event business. Having worked in nearly every department running my businesses, gives me a broader perspective on each project.
I enjoy the technical side just as much as I do the creative side. Nothing makes me happier than getting to use both sides of my brain to bring a project to life. I have built and lead teams as well as worked very well independently. I pride myself on being fun and easy to work with. I love to work hard and dedicate myself to a project no matter the scope.
Outside of work I love to spend my times outdoors. My favorite things to do are traveling the world, hiking, road-tripping in my camper van, riding motorcycles, and spending time with my loved ones.
