Hello—I’m Anna McBane, a storyteller located in Ithaca, New York. I'm passionate about creating a more beautiful world through writing, illustration, photography, and design. Hailing from Alabama, I grew up in Fairhope and recently graduated from Samford University with a BA in Christian and Religious Studies and a minor in English. In Ithaca, I work as a ministry fellow at Chesterton House, a Christian Study Center. When I’m not working or creating, I'm cooking, going on walks, reading, or hanging at coffee shops with friends.

What I love most about being a storyteller is getting to utilize my creative skills to connect with people of all stages of life and be a vessel for them to have their voices heard. The stories that are passed down and placed permanently on paper can serve as an eye-opening and transformative candle in our lives, but only when we allow ourselves to strike the match.
