Ann refines her craft with leaders who made makeup high art. Working alongside Pat McGrath, she developed a vision of beauty as authorship, culture, and visual legacy.

Over the years, her work has evolved into creative direction for influential fashion houses. Her portfolio includes collaborations with icons like Rihanna and Caroline Polachek, as well as features in Vogue, W, and i-D.

Beyond makeup, she partners with Dr. Deepak Chopra on the AI Digital Twin project, exploring how consciousness intersects with digital worlds to expand possibility and access.

Advocacy and empowerment are central to her work. She sees beauty as a collaborative force to embolden talent, story, and community.
