Annie works for companies, foundations, and communities to discover futures that people want to live in and designs strategies and programs to both bring those futures to life and ways to make them visible.
She is trained as both a writer and photographer with her BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and holds her LMSW from the Silberman School of Social Work. Combining these fields, she has become a sought-after strategist, program designer, and story officer for leading organizations in both the non-profit and for-profit sectors.
Specializing in the realms of medicine, longevity, place, community, and the well-being of the workforce in those sectors, she works with leaders to discover what matters most to clinicians, staff, residents, and patients.
Her public-facing expressions of the work (e.g, digital galleries, exhibits, websites, books, and live events) serve as on-ramps for reflection, conversation, and actionable change.
Annie’s work has been commissioned by The Frick Collection, exhibited at the United Nations, and is on permanent display at Mt. Sinai West. Her projects have also been an integral part of the National Academy of Medicine’s work about Health Equity and Clinician Well-Being and the John A. Hartford Foundation and Arnold P. Gold Foundation’s communication work. Her unique approach and proven successes have been presented at national conferences including Google Health Ignite, the Cleveland Clinic Empathy & Innovation Conference, and the Center for Health Care Design’s Environments for Aging Conference.
