ABOUT ME

I’m Anna Lyle, an art director and designer that loves iced coffee, no matter the temperature 🧊☕.

As a graduate of the VCU Brandcenter, my portfolio spans 3+ years of professional and student work, including recognition in AdWeek and AdAge.

Learning classical violin growing up gave me my initial foray into creativity. Being a musician taught me a great respect for conventional methods of creativity, but let’s be real, I’m not afraid to break them.

In my free time, I read historical fiction and ponder what century I’d time travel to. I’ve made these imaginings real through the alias, Iris.  

If I struck a chord 🎻, let’s chat.
