Anna Kate is the master of many trades at Made Outside and is the passionate and synergistic sidekick to proprietor Kara Hollinger.
From an early age, Anna Kate "AK" was prone to making stuff. At eight years old, she was doodling in Photoshop to the point where her internet privileges would be revoked. To this day, she says, experimenting with graphics and lettering is an “extension of her soul.” She is a true creative, with vast ability to draw, design, paint, carve, weave, print, and make just about anything.
For AK, design is a functional application of her formal art training and an opportunity to create visual stories for passionate companies. At Made Outside, she is part of a small, but mighty team of inspiring creatives who are “in it to win it.” When she’s not at home doodling on her iPad, with her two cats, and a cup of coffee, AK is sweating it out at hot yoga.
AK has a tenacious dedication and is hands down one of the most talented designers out there. She can draw, design, code, write, track performance and shoot photography.
Fun fact: She's a twin and fights everyday to bring awareness to sustainable fashion through her platform AK Wears Things! Did you know that fast fashion is one of the largest pollutants to our environment?! Stop buying and start re-purposing!
