Annie grew up in Northern Michigan and then went off to college to study graphic design and studio art. She was always a creative person and wanted to earn a living doing something she loved. But it hit her right near graduation as her peers were looking for jobs that would land them in a cubicle that she would be freaking miserable editing pics, designing brochures and sitting in on meeting after meeting at a design firm. Yeah, thanks but no thanks. After graduating she decided instead to chase her second passion: the outdoors. Annie somehow landed a job playing with gear at a national outdoor school and had a blast playing with boats and being completely immersed in the outdoor lifestyle. When the need to scratch her creative itch became a little too overwhelming, Compass Paper Co was born.
