ABOUT

Azure Waves Branding is a solo online studio by design. Founded as the evolution of my longtime creative practice, I work closely and intentionally with each client — from first concept to final delivery — ensuring a focused, hands-on creative process throughout.

I help emerging and established businesses bring their vision to life through thoughtful branding, web design, and creative visual solutions.

Hi, I'm Anne Phillips...

... the creative mind behind Azure Waves Branding.

With over 35 years of diverse experience—nearly two decades spent collaborating with small- to medium-sized businesses across a wide range of industries—I help clients bring their brands to life through thoughtful branding and rebranding solutions. My background includes providing marketing, photography, and on-site support for events, including multi-day international conferences.

Branding and marketing have been the heart of everything I do. They inspire my work and guide how I approach every project and challenge.

Blending strategic thinking with creative problem-solving, I bring both structure and imagination to my work. I approach every project with dedication and passion, ensuring results that not only meet but exceed client expectations—while keeping timelines and goals firmly on track.

My goal is to create long-term, meaningful solutions that authentically reflect the essence of each client’s brand. Whether you need support with business branding, website development, packaging design, or another graphic design project, I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can help your business stand out from the sea of sameness.

On a personal note, I was born and raised in the beautiful medieval country of Estonia and now call sunny Florida home. When I’m not working, you’ll often find me in nature, unplugging from Wi-Fi to recharge. I also enjoy traveling, exploring new places, and visiting museums that inspire fresh ideas and creative perspectives.

What my Wave Makers have shared

I’m endlessly grateful for our partnership.

When I had a falling out with my previous graphic designer, I was struggling and was hesitant to hire someone new because of trust and professionalism.
Anne with Azure Waves Branding is like an angel sent from heaven, and it was destiny to have her on my team.
She is so professional, understands your vision completely, immediate responses and the work is above and beyond.
I am so happy and blessed to work with such an incredible human being. Thank you for everything and I look forward to working with you for many many years! You are stuck with me Anne!

Anne helped me to create my website (www.lindellkv.com) and she worked out also all designs for my brand. Working with her was a pleasure - she always brainstormed with me, offered her ideas and through all the process communication was fun and transparent.
Thank you dear, Anne 🙂

It is with pleasure that I recommend Anné Phillips as graphic designer as well as photographer.
I have hired Anne for very specific creative business projects and have been impressed with her range of knowledge, her ability to meet tight deadlines and the excellent quality of her work.
Not only does Anne bring her years of experience and creative talents to the table when you work with her, she also carries with her a vivacious personality and boundless energy and enthusiasm for your project. She is excellent communicator with the end goal in mind to meet customer expectations.
I recommend her for any endeavor she chooses to pursue.

Personal Brand client
Anné was the most excellent photographer I could have hoped for, for my experience. Our makeup artist had a last minute emergency and couldn’t show up and Anné jumped in and did my makeup. She also picked out all of my outfits.
My pictures are for personal branding and she was the perfect photographer for the job. She asked me to pick out 12 pictures for her to retouch and we ended up retouching a whole lot more. They all turned out absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to use them, moving forward, to amplify my life.
Thank you so much Anné!!

Corporate Headshot client
Anne is a fabulous and creative photographer! Not only are the corporate headshots professional, but also full of life. Her use of lighting and subtle background scenery (we shot in our favorite, downtown St. Pete) is outstanding. She even captured a few candid shots that we didn't know she was taking and they are my absolute favorites!!
Thank you, Anne, for making us look so good!
