ANNIE O'BRIEN
DESIGNER, PLAYGROUND ENTHUSIAST, AND REGULAR AT THE ART MUSEUM BASED OUT OF DENVER, CO
With over four years of professional experience under my belt, I am passionate about creating empowering spaces, uplifting communities, sustainable design practices, and working with a team. My unique background of graphic design and landscape architecture has given me an upper hand in understanding the user experience within a space. When I'm not at work, you can find me wandering around an art museum, running through the mountains, or laughing with friends and family.
