We are a design studio based in Chicago, Illinois. We invent tactile worlds and artful experiences that pull people out of the ordinary. Every project is a chance to play with scale, color, and imagination (we love pushing the limits!) We design for the dreamers, the hosts, the storytellers, and the brands who are looking for something a little different.

Get to know Anna

Founder

Hi! I’m Anna!

I’m the founder of Zipper Studios. With a degree in fine art and a background in theater, I’ve always been inspired by the magic of storytelling and the joy of shared experiences. My professional career in construction project management gave me the tools to bring ambitious ideas to life and execute complex projects with precision and care. Together, these backgrounds form the heart of my work in experiential design – a balance of bold creativity alongside a deep attention to detail.

About me:

Off duty, you’ll find me exploring neighborhood cocktail bars with my husband Jake, hanging out with my sweet cat Honey, watching old horror movies, and playing the piano.
