MEET THE OWNER


ANN MARIE CATABIA
Owner / Creative Director

Hi, I’m Ann Marie (first name). I grew up in a quiet beach town south of Boston with a passion for sports, music, and creativity. I discovered graphic design in high school through a desktop publishing class, and that spark led me to explore illustration, print, and visual storytelling throughout college and beyond.

After college, I gained hands-on experience designing student guidebooks for universities and worked as a designer at a silk screen shop, where I created illustrations for apparel and learned the printing process from the ground up. I then went on to design photo booths, collaborating with cross-department teams and clients like Disney, M&M’s World, Forever21, and the San Diego Zoo. These experiences shaped my approach to design—combining strategy, creativity, and a love for crafting visuals that connect with people. Today, I bring that same curiosity and dedication to every project at AMC Creative Design.

“As the Fractional CEO of Artistry & Industry — and in my broader work leading Schiele & Associates — I’ve had the privilege of partnering with many talented professionals. Ann Marie Catabia stands out in a league of her own. She worked closely with me and our Founder, Mike, to develop a fully aligned marketing strategy, a cohesive brand kit, and a beautifully crafted logo system that captured exactly who we are and where we’re going.

Ann Marie didn’t just ‘design’ for us — she translated our identity, our mission, and our future vision into a brand we’re proud to stand behind. Her clarity, collaboration, and creative discipline elevated our entire positioning. If you’re looking for someone who brings both strategic insight and artistic excellence, Ann Marie is the kind of partner who moves the needle and makes the work feel effortless.”
