After leaving school Annie meandered her way through the world of print & marketing for about a decade before starting work for retail stationery stalwart Esmonde Publishing, where she was lucky enough to learn the ropes from Past Master Helen Esmonde, designing and managing own brand ranges for the likes of Liberty, Waterstones & Foyles.
When the business closed during the Covid pandemic, Annie sought out work at one of the binderies they used for manufacturing and went on to develop products for them before moving onto the sales & marketing team at Barnard & Westwood. Last year, herself and two close friends took the plunge and founded Rebel Stationery, a luxury diary & notebook brand that supports the women of the global textile industry.
