howdy 🤠 i'm anna marie boone,

i live in minneapolis and work at the star tribune — my job title is “digital designer,” although i wear quite a few different hats. i love working with everyone across the newsroom, sitting in the traffic controller's seat as a project comes together and weaving all the pieces together until it's perfect.

outside of the office, i can normally be found walking my rescue pup derby, attending a concert that i will meticulously track in a google sheet, or diving headfirst into a new hobby (currently it's knitting, although running, printmaking, embroidery and baking have previously made appearances).
