Anna is an experienced multi-disciplinary artist, designer and marketeer.
Originally from Canada, her passion for both outdoor pursuits and the arts led her into a career in the outdoor industry. After working at brands and retailers, Anna decided to set up Blunt Crayon to mesh her love of design and creativity with her love of the outdoors.
Anna Clark is the Founder and Creative Director of Blunt Crayon, a UK based creative design studio specialising in branding, illustration, digital design, and campaign strategy for outdoor and ethically-minded brands. Originally from Western Canada, Anna's early career was in the outdoor industry, working on both the brand and retail sides of the industry, both in Canada and in the UK. After seeing the success of her design and marketing at her in-house position in a fast growing brand, she founded Blunt Crayon to bring together her two passions: creative design and the outdoors.
As a multi-disciplinary designer and marketer, Anna has led branding, web design, and campaign work for outdoor, conservation and adventure-sector clients. Highlights include the 10 Years On campaign for Rab, and the European Outdoor Group branding and website, which was featured in DesignRush's 12 Most Beautiful Website Designs of 2023. Anna has also delivered creative and brand work for Mountain Equipment, Sea to Summit, Sprayway, and Helinox.
Anna is committed to using design and business as a force for positive change: Blunt Crayon is a signatory of the Better Business Act and a member of the Sustainable Creative Charter, reflecting her focus on sustainable, purpose-driven creative work. Based in the Peak District, UK, Anna works across brand identity, illustration, art direction, and digital strategy for clients who want their creative to do more than look good — it needs to create meaningful connection to their audience.
