Anna is the in-house graphic designer for the Institute of Human Development. She studied at UMKC and got a Bachelors in Studio Art and a Bachelor’s in Voice Performance. During her last year at school, she became a graphic design intern for IHD. Once she graduated, she accepted the offer to work full-time for the Institute, and she’s been handling projects big and small ever since including work for Nexus. So far, graphic design has been a career that fulfills her love of organization, creativity and innovation.

She has lived in the Kansas City area for most of her life and loves it here. She spends her free time exploring things around the city: restaurants, shops, and supporting other small businesses. She’s also an avid baker and has been known to give her creations to those in the office to enjoy.
