about
Hi! I'm Anna, the banana behind Sassy Banana Design Co. I'm delighted that you've found your way to my online shop. This little stationery business started as a way to stay connected with loved ones through my written and illustrated greeting cards, and I hope that it provides you with the same opportunity.
Since 2017, Sassy Banana has grown into a one-woman, small business, fostering thousands of connections. My stationery and art are sold IRL at local art markets, online, retail shops, and beyond. All products are created and packaged with love, in-house. Custom work is available as well for businesses, personal stationery, special events, carnival, weddings, and more.
My long story, short: I'm originally from New Orleans, LA — born and raised. (Before y'all ask what high school: Sacred Heart & NOCCA.) In 2008 I left NOLA to attend art school at SCAD in Savannah, GA (BFA Illustration, 2012). After graduation, I moved to Florida for a bit before returning to NOLA in 2016.
During these different times in various area codes, aesthetically pleasing mail correspondence with a personal touch became a necessary and wonderful way to keep in touch with loved ones sprinkled across the globe.
Sassy Banana Design Co. took on a life of its own in 2017 once I took the leap from my day job as an Art Director / Digital & Print Graphic Designer in favor of more creative freedom and flexibility in my schedule. In addition to freelancing, I started selling (very homemade) stationery at local art markets around NOLA. Since then, I've refined and streamlined my production methods to deliver quality, well-crafted stationery and art designed with heart.
When I'm not designing stationery, I enjoy walks along the bayou, quality time with friends and family, being a mom, and getting out on the town. Community is everything. I love a good yoga sesh and I'm a bit of a foodie, if you couldn't tell from the greeting cards! It's so important to enjoy all that life has to offer.
If you have any questions regarding ordering from me or wholesale, please feel free to reach out to me any time to anna@sassybananadesignco.com.
