Hi! I’m Annabelle Neher, a lover of the outdoors, movies, reading, and all things design. I’ve always been passionate about art and creativity, and I’ve found real joy in learning how to bring ideas to life for others through design. Empathy is at the heart of my process. I strive to understand my audience as deeply as possible, and I let that connection guide every creative decision. Spontaneity and exploration are defining traits in both my life and my design approach! I believe the best ideas come from being curious, trying everything, and never dismissing a concept before giving it a shot. As a designer, my goal is to spark conversation, represent brands and ideas in ways that feel authentic and dynamic, and ultimately create work that leaves a lasting impact.

Newspaper advertisements with vintage luggage tags with taglines like "Cameras, iPads, Kindles... Naval Guidance System," "Shirts, Hats, Pants... Medieval Armor," and "Purses, Scarves, Necklaces, Ancient Egyptian Artifacts."Unclaimed Baggage is a retail company that purchases lost or unclaimed airline luggage and resells the contents in their Alabama store and online. This newspaper ad campaign uses illustrated vintage luggage tags as a visual motif, each listing an eclectic mix of items found at Unclaimed Baggage which range from everyday tech to the utterly bizarre. The campaigns taglines play on the contrast between the ordinary and the outrageous, sparking curiosity and wonder about what treasures lie inside each lost bag. This campaign won a Crystal Award at the Fort Worth, Texas, ADDYs. 

A whimsical, ethereal campaign showcasing glowing app screens with leaderboards, level-ups, and celebratory moments that highlight the joy of gamified citizen science. A standout billboard features a person snapping a photo of the sky with the tagline: “Look at that—you’re doing science.”This campaign is designed to demystify NASA's Citizen Science programs and invite people of all backgrounds to contribute to real scientific discovery in fun, accessible, and rewarding ways. It combines a gamified mobile app, a nationwide ad campaign, and bold, mission-inspired merchandise to show that science is not just confined to labs with professional scientists, but that it’s in your hands.

The poster on the left features zig-zagging, glitch-like typography that visually echoes the energetic, shifting rhythm of A-ha’s Take On Me, as if the music itself is moving through the design. The poster on the right spotlights the title Carmen, with a dramatic beam illuminating Carmen herself while her shadow cast across the wall transforms into the silhouette of a bull, symbolizing the opera’s tension and the blurred line between power and vulnerability.

Website flats that showcases the Kubus rotherdam homes and their unconventional architecture. The Cube Houses in Rotterdam, Netherlands, are a striking set of innovative, tilted cube-shaped homes designed by architect Piet Blom to resemble an abstract forest, with each house representing a tree.

The campaign highlights a variety of engaging learning tools, including coloring pages, building blocks, and interactive computer interfaces showcasing educational games. ABC Mouse is a comprehensive early learning app that offers interactive games, lessons, and activities across subjects like reading, math and science for children ages 2–8. This rebrand addresses the concerns of Gen Z and Millennial parents who are wary of screen time for their kids by creating a less addictive interface, featuring softer colors and more subdued illustrations to foster a calmer, more balanced learning environment.
