Hello!

My name is Annie and I am mama to two wonderful littles, Léonie and Noa. With the support of the best husband ever, Jay - we are Collectively Pressed!

One of my first projects, and the inspiration behind this shop was this memorial piece. Trudy was the matriarch of our family and the "harmony in our song of life", as written on her stone, never rung more true. After her passing, I wanted a piece of her in our home that we could see every day. Something that would remind us of her joy for life. This is an excerpt from a handwritten letter she left us - I can hear her calm voice and sweet laughter through her rounded letters and distinct e's.

Then brewed the idea of this shop - this tiny frame holds such a special place in our hearts and I wanted to provide that to others. Not just to honour loved ones lost but in celebrating all of life's little memories too. Whether it's a piece for a nursery, a newborn portrait or a love note to a partner, I'd be honoured to create it together.

Connecting with all of you and working together to make a meaningful piece is at the heart of every order.

Thank you for being here!

With love,
Annie
