I’m Anna Burgess — a graphic designer, photographer, author, and creative soul with a passion for movement, healing, and meaningful expression.

Nearly a decade ago, in my 50s, I made the brave decision to return to school and earn my BFA in Arts, Communications, and Design. It was one of the most transformative choices of my life. Now in my 60s, I wake up every day filled with purpose — creating designs that inspire, uplift, and connect.

My journey began with dance. I started designing for dancers because I believe movement is medicine. Dance brings out my free spirit — it’s where my soul comes alive. The sound of music has always stirred something in me: it sets a mood, evokes emotion, and invites us to feel deeply. That’s the energy I pour into every design — whether it's a hoodie for a passionate dancer or a notebook that sparks creative journaling.

My designs are more than just beautiful pieces — they’re created to be empowering. For dancers, they’re a reflection of grace, grit, and artistry. For nature lovers, they honor the quiet strength of the earth and the awe-inspiring beauty of the world around us. I infuse each piece with intention, hoping to offer comfort, courage, and a reminder that you are powerful, creative, and seen.

When I’m not behind my camera or creating on my computer, I’m enjoying time with my family and friends — my lifeline, my heart, and my greatest joy. Their love and presence fuel everything I do and remind me what truly matters.

I also love to travel and have been fortunate to explore countless places around the world — far too many to name. What I treasure most about traveling is connecting with people from different cultures and walks of life. I’m endlessly inspired by their stories, traditions, and the beauty found in every corner of the globe. Learning about cultures through real conversations and experiences has shaped not only my art but also my heart.

I’m also the author of Powerful You: Stories of Courage, Strength, Desire, and Dreams — a heartfelt book born from real conversations with women navigating trauma, single motherhood, illness, reinvention, and personal loss. Writing this book wasn’t just about storytelling; it was about creating a sacred space for healing, hope, and truth. Layered with my own vulnerability, it’s a work that honors the resilience and spirit of every woman who dares to rise.

Whether you’re a dancer, a dreamer, a nature lover, or someone searching for a spark — welcome. I’m so grateful you’re here.
