By empowering the next generation of creators to become entrepreneurs, Annie is assisting up-and-coming digital creatives in supporting themselves.
In this episode, the San-Francisco-based entrepreneur shares her tips on that hard first year, why we need to start validating ourselves more, and the power in open communication.

Where once being a digital creator was just a hobby, now it’s a multi-billion dollar industry that has changed the way we live our daily lives.
A brand who’s (mostly) responsible for that? Facebook.
