Having graduated from Whitecliffe College of Arts & Design, Annie has worked in the fashion industry and as a graphic designer at Blunt Umbrellas for five years. Whilst working, she got engaged and set about to create flower arrangements for her wedding. From there, her natural talents brought in her first flower orders. In 2019, after two years of floral arranging as her side hustle, she took steps towards her dream of running a studio full-time. Looking to explore more ways of working with flowers and combining that with her unique talents, background in arts and design, Annie set off to travel across the world. There, she gained a KCDA flower piping certification and learnt from the best floral cake decorators. This is where she fell in love with sugar art and was able to master the skills in a short amount of time. Eventually, she leapt into her new venture and is now the proud and happy owner of Annie's Little Valley studio and cafe that showcases her sugar art and all things creative.
