About Us

Hi, my name is Anna and I am the owner of Koko Vanilla Designs.

I have been creating for as a long as I can remember, I have always loved to use my hands to create something from nothing that is beautiful and unique.  When I was younger I delved into Tapestry, Sewing, Ceramics, Painting.  Although  it was never more than just a hobby here and there.  I loved using beautiful fabrics but I resolved myself to the fact that I didn't have the patience for sewing.

Years later once married with my first child I began to pursue Folk Art Painting. and tried some classes of Patchwork.  This reignited my passion for creating and I haven't stopped since trying to blend together my love of creating things and my dream to make it into a business.  I have painted and sold at Market Stalls, I have created Kids Craft Kits and sold them at schools and kinders.  "In my mind to do something that one loves and enjoys and be able to derive an income from is certainly a dream come true."

My love of all things papercraft begun after the birth of my second child.  It began with making cards and then by the time my third child was born it had become scrapbooking as well.  So I can honestly say that I have always been crafty in some form and am not sure what life would be like not ever doing something creative or should I say not ever having a seperate and sometimes chaotic craft room to escape to and get my creative fix!

So finally my website is a blending of all my creative experiences.  Here I have the opportunity to express and pursue my creative passion and turn into a business for myself.  I love being a mum to my three children who are now all finally at school but I also love to be a career woman and here is how I blend the two. 

On  site you will find an eclectic combination of styles and products which inspire me alongside any techniques I have learnt and discovered over the years, to inspire all of you to cultivate your creative passion.  I hope you will follow me on my journey and  always pursue your creative dreams no matter what resistance you may face.

Any questions you may have can be made via the Contact Us Page.  I welcome your comments and input and any suggestions about what you would like to see on site.

Enjoy your artistic journey

Live, Create, Inspire
