about annie

I've been a subject matter expert in creative hiring since 2010. That's 15+ years of knowing exactly what great UX, creative technology, and brand marketing talent looks like, and exactly how to find it.

Before founding Creative Hire, I spent nearly four years at Amazon as a Global Lead Design Recruiter across 11 lines of business, covering Product Design, Creative Technology, and Creative Marketing, where I maintained the highest close rate among all design recruiters with only three declines across my entire tenure.

I started Creative Hire because I saw a gap. Companies needed a true creative recruiting partner, not just a vendor. Whether you're a founder making your first creative hire or a scaling brand building out a design team, you're not getting a generalist. You're getting someone who has lived and breathed this space for over a decade.

What started as scrappy startup hiring has become one of the most competitive talent markets in the world. The roles have gotten more complex, the candidates more discerning, and the stakes higher. I've evolved right alongside it, learning how creative teams are built, how they break, and what separates a great hire from a costly one.

Creative Hire exists because this space deserves a recruiter who truly knows it. Not someone who dabbles in design hiring between tech roles. Someone who has made it their life's work.
