Annie + (Collaborations)
Collaborations - Fly.io
Alongside her more introspective work, Annie brings a sense of play and curiosity to her collaborations with Fly.io, where her illustrations translate complex, often invisible systems into lively, imaginative worlds. Here, her characters take on a different kind of magic—mischievous sprites, adventurous birds, and strange little guardians of code—each one embodying pieces of a larger, hidden infrastructure.
Rather than separating the technical from the imaginative, Annie’s work blends them, turning concepts like distributed systems and resilience into something tangible, narrative, and even a little bit whimsical.
Collaborations - The Spacious Tarot
In 2016, Annie reached out to Carrie Mallon to create a tarot deck. After three years of development they launched the deck with a successful kickstarter, and have sold over 12,000 copies around the world. Their collaboration is one that’s hard to replicate- intuitively aligned while both bringing completely different strengths. They’re currently working on another deck and special edition of the Spacious Tarot.
“She has the rare skill of intuitively understanding the spirit, direction, and heart behind any given project.”
