Ann - Product Development & Virtual Production

My name is Ann, and I am a New Product Development Specialist & Virtual Production Artist.

I have been with Crystal D since 2009 and I have held a few different positions. I started in the art department as a production artist and moved around a bit before settling in my current roles.

I love spending time with my family and enjoying the outdoors. During the Minnesota State Fair, my family is super busy running two concession stands!

Something Surprising: My family fostered two baby raccoons when I was a kid. I've also been to almost every state in the United States.
