It's taken a long time for me to understand my creative self.

Now I want to help you understand your own unique mix you bring to the table.

About Anna Beyerle Rosen

For most of my personal and professional life, I’ve wanted to do things the right way. I had a traditional education, and imagine my surprise when I found it nearly impossible to get hired for a professional writing job right out of college. I blamed it on my lack of internships, but the reality was: I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. Up until now, I’d followed a set path, and on my own, I had no idea what the next steps looked like.

Eventually, I landed a job, and after that, I landed one I really liked. I felt like I was checking all the boxes and was enjoying my professional career, until I started to get dissatisfied with traditional job expectations. As a creative, I didn’t feel like my creativity was confined to a nine-to-five, and I eventually went freelance, which evolved to running my own creative studio for five plus years.

I eventually left my creative studio because of extreme burnout. As an owner, I was all alone, and although I had support, I was finding it nearly impossible to compare myself to those who were doing “better” than me. I was comparing my first drafts to their finished products, and was trying to fit in instead of owning my powerful, unique lived experience.

After closing my studio, I went back to a nine-to-five, but this time in a more flexible remote environment. I took the time to heal from burnout, and equip myself with tools like the enneagram that help me to better understand myself and those around me. I’ve also developed the Creating Cyclically Framework, a tool for infusing rest and balance into your creative work.

Some fun facts about me:

I’m a Kentucky native living in Tennessee, by way of Ohio, Colorado, and New York. Living around the country has been one of my favorite experiences.
I love personality tests as a tool for self growth and awareness. I’m a 9 wing 1 (enneagram), INFP (Meyers-Briggs), and high S/C (DISC).
I’m passionate about urban development, great branding and design (especially a good set of brand guidelines), gardening, yoga, and any form of creative expression.
I’m a Libra sun, Virgo moon, and Leo rising.

My learned and lived experiences that add to my work and qualify me for what I do:

Enneagram assessment certification through Cloverleaf
Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and postgraduate certificate in Graphic Design
Registered yoga teacher (200 hours RYT, and 85 hour RPYT)
12+ years professional experience in integrated communications, strategy, and design work
Five years as a full-time business owner

Get in touch

I believe:

We are all creatives.
Creativity heals all.
We are always becoming more of ourselves.
It’s all a phase.
You don’t have to deserve something.
Going outside will make it better.

My philosophy on creativity:

You are a creative, no matter what you are creating. And that creativity ebbs and flows; it takes and it gives. Creating can be exhausting and backbreaking; it can be a life-giving salve.

We often give so much of ourselves until we are depleted, burnt out, exhausted.

But there’s another way to be creative. To listen to your inherent wisdom, learning your cues to rest, to seek something new, to drive forward, and to pull back.

To create in alignment with your innermost strengths, and to collaborate with others joyfully.

To view creativity as a blessing, not a curse. To know your limits and leave something left in the tank, so you’re always ready to catch the next wave of inspiration.

It’s my vision to help creatives in practice their creative work in a sustainable and enjoyable way.

So many of us have big creative dreams, but either get stuck in ideation mode, or work so much on our passion that it burns us out. We end up being so stressed out by our creative work that we don’t enjoy it anymore.

I work with creatives to establish structure around your work, so you can prioritize rest and establish a creative flow that is unique to your working style. Through understanding and embracing your unique self and talents, you can find your own creative flow, heal from burnout, and prioritize what’s important to you.

There are no magic answers to guide you on your creative journey.

Just frameworks and knowledge to make this experience more aligned and enjoyable.

We are all creatives. Whether we are creating art, writing, families, homes, spreadsheets, or classrooms, we spend so much of our day creating. It’s about time we create in a way that works best for us.

I am a creative human being, not an expert or authority. I am a mentor, using my lived experience to share tools and frameworks that have been incredibly helpful on my creative journey. They’ve helped me better understand myself and the work I aim to do, getting clear focus and intention so I can craft what I’ve always meant to do.

Let’s work together:

A few reasons you might enjoy working with me:

Realistic and human-first

In all my work, I ask if this will work for you. It’s my aim to hold space that meets folks where they are, enabling them to take what works for them and leave what doesn’t, and enable confidence over fear. I’ll never tell you what you should or shouldn’t do, only offering suggestions and tools. You are the authority on what works for you

trauma-informed approach

I work to honor others’ lived experiences, and recognize they are different from my lived experiences. I aim to use objective frameworks that are adaptable to different types of lived experiences in all my work, and avoid prescriptive statements and ideas. I come to interactions from a lens of empathy and respect, and am not going to sell you something I don’t have the experience to promise or speak on.

Focus on creativity

Speaking of lived experiences, I come from my background as a creative, business owner, and strategist. I use the Enneagram, Creating Cyclically framework, and other objective tools that are adaptable to different interactions and expereinces. My work is a great fit for fellow creatives looking to establish more intentionality and balance in their work.
