Annie Riker Art and Design

Hi, I'm Annie!

I’m here to make art and tell stories.

As a surface designer and illustrator, I create artwork that brings delight to both people and products through inspiring hand lettering, joyful color palettes, and vibrant patterns. Whether I’m painting, sketching, printmaking, or collaging, my art is a blend of intuition and intention that sparks emotion and resonates deeply.

My award-winning art and design work is often described as cheerful, encouraging, and feel-good. I specialize in creating art for products and packaging. Clients love working with me because I bring warmth, passion, and professional polish — blending artistic expression and radiant joy with more than two decades of design experience.

Let’s make something beautiful together.

More About Me

I fell in love with drawing and painting as a young child, and was creating expressive and intuitive oil paintings on canvas by the time I was 12. My journey continued with a BFA in graphic design, followed by more than 20 years of industry experience in packaging, publication, and branding — including Creative Director roles and national campaigns. Creative concepts are my superpowers, and I thrive in artistic experimentation. These roots in design still inform my work as an artist today: I understand layout, production specs, licensing, and collaboration from both sides.

In addition to collaborating with the best brands and businesses, I also write and illustrate my own inspirational books and journals that uplift and empower. I focus on making artwork and crafting stories that are emotionally resonant and visually delightful — and I partner with brands who want to do the same.
