Accepted into the Mississippi Craftsmen’s Guild in 2003, Ann is an exhibiting member of the Guild in the medium of handmade paper.
Presently, Ann is working with a client to renovate an old grocery store into a wellness complex. This project is especially meaningful because it is taking a building that has not been used for several years and repurposing it into a fresh, new space that will serve our community is a multitude of ways. My goal as a designer is to be aware of the impact of design and how it affects not only the present, but the future as well.
