Meet Annie

I am the founder of The Village Haberdashery, a London-based creative lifestyle brand that offered classes, supplies and inspiration for makers. For 10 years, I grew the business into a multi-channel retail brand that drew sewers, knitters and crafters from around the world and served as a community hub for creatives in London.

Prior to launching The Village Haberdashery, I spent more than a decade working with some of the world’s leading e-commerce and retail technology companies in Silicon Valley and London. I led multi-national, multi-channel public relations and brand marketing campaigns for my clients, leading in some cases, to multi-million dollar exits.

I began my career in the publicity department at Penguin Random House in New York, where I worked on the campaigns for bestselling fiction and non-fiction titles. I landed national print and broadcast coverage and booked multi-city speaking tours for my authors.

I live in Seattle with my husband and two sons. I always have several creative projects on the go, from wallpapering the kitchen to launching a digital art shop to sewing a wardrobe of linen trousers. Drop me a line if you’d like to talk about your creative project!
