Anna Yoshida
Art Director / Senior Designer
I approach design and art direction with curiosity, empathy, and precision. I believe great design is rooted not only in creativity, but also in clear communication and organized execution. My experience spans a range of industries, from boutique design studios to large-scale corporations. Notable work includes brand refreshes and brand management for the Inn at the WAC, Yountville Napa Valley, and Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission.
