About

Hi, I’m Anna and I first used this site to show my design work and visual art, but I’ve recently started a blog about socially responsible and sustainable design. My design education was really all about aesthetics so I’m trying to expand my knowledge on my own because there’s so much more to design than looks alone. I am very excited by the many ways designers are changing things for the better in regions of the world that desperately need attention.

I currently design and build furniture and metalwork from as much reclaimed materials and scrap as possible and in my spare time I love to assemble colors, patterns, and textures through collage and graphic design. I work out of a community workshop in Portland, Oregon where I live. Thank you for your interest and feel free to contact me at annatroupe@gmail.com.
