About Anna Cole

Inviting Adventure Through Design

Anna Cole is a multidisciplinary designer, brand steward, and content creator who uses visual media to invite connection and spark new possibilities. With a background spanning NYC film production, higher education marketing, and archival design, she specializes in turning complex or disparate ideas into cohesive, multi-channel campaigns—spanning everything from video and animation to photography and digital signage.

Driven by an interest in human psychology and the spirited, uncurated energy of the early internet, Anna designs with clarity, humor, and purpose. Off the clock, she draws inspiration from nature and Art Nouveau illustration, and restores historical family archives into beautiful, period-accurate books. Whether "greasing the gears" for a college campus or designing for private clients, her focus is always the same: lowering barriers, building community, and encouraging people to take a leap.
