I was born and raised in Memphis, TN, a city renowned for its vibrant music scene and equally dynamic visual arts culture. Growing up surrounded by such creativity, I was inspired to explore the arts from an early age. By high school, I had immersed myself in experimenting with a wide variety of artistic mediums, laying the foundation for my future career.

Eager to refine my craft, I pursued a Bachelor’s degree at the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), majoring in Industrial Design with a minor in Graphic Design. My time at SCAD sharpened my creative vision and technical skills, and after graduation, I moved to Atlanta, GA, to begin my professional journey as an Industrial Designer for Altium, one of the nation’s largest packaging manufacturers and recyclers.

While I thrived in industrial design, I found myself yearning for new challenges and a fresh perspective. This led me back to SCAD, this time at the Atlanta campus, where I embarked on a Master’s program in Interior Design. A year into the program, I joined Niles Bolton Associates (NBA), one of Atlanta's leading architecture firms. Juggling the demands of full-time work alongside the intense rigor of my coursework was a challenge, but my perseverance paid off when I earned my Master’s degree just one year later. Over the following five years, I had the privilege of contributing to an impressive range of projects at NBA, including corporate offices, multifamily complexes, government facilities, private aviation terminals, and non-profit spaces—spanning both renovations and new construction.

In 2023, I achieved national certification as an interior designer, a milestone that reignited my entrepreneurial spirit. Inspired to work more closely with individuals and smaller-scale companies, I founded Anne Mason Design (AMD) in March 2024. My mission is simple yet impactful: to make high-quality design accessible to clients of all budgets. At AMD, I help people and businesses transform their spaces into environments that inspire, nurture, and elevate daily living.

Interior design is often perceived as a luxury, but I believe that beautiful, functional spaces should be accessible to everyone. The places we inhabit profoundly influence our mental health and overall well-being, and my goal is to ensure that my clients, no matter the scope of their projects, experience the peace and joy that thoughtful design can bring.
