partner with aml

Anne Marie’s nimble approach is ideal for groups and individuals who think that their organization could benefit from design, but don’t have the capacity to independently manage a complex project or hire a full-time employee.

There are loads of ways to work with Anne Marie. Here’s one example of a long-term partnership ↓

about aml

Hi, I'm Anne Marie (she/her). I grew up in Newport News, VA, and then planted one foot in college radio and another in video production at Florida State. After spending a few years in the NYC media scene where I produced content for Slate and Eater, I went through a broad-strokes grad program at Pratt to expand beyond video toward strategy/creative direction. Things started to click after that. I moved to Philly and began working with organizations on every aspect of their communications. The wider lens and more immersive projects quickly revealed how limitations in budget and capacity can hamper growth. I’ve since devoted my time to figuring out how to make it easier for people to manage the marketing themselves.

Outside of work, I’m a big proponent of not working. I spend most of my free time experimenting in other areas of design, but I also play and watch lots of women’s/non-binary soccer and am always on the lookout for people to chat with about the USWNT and NWSL.
