Anna Archibald (she/her) is a freelance food and drink journalist and editor with a BS in Journalism: News and Information from the University of Kansas, and a therapeutic horticulturist with training from the New York Botanical Garden. She’s also an enthusiastic, self-taught sewist and knitter who enjoys finding the beauty in perfectly imperfect handmade items. Having first learned to machine and hand sew around the age of eight, she’s used these skills to alter, mend, and make garments from scratch for years. Her long-term goal is to create a fully handmade wardrobe full of natural fibers and help others gain the skills to do the same, moving away from fast-fashion and toward more sustainable options.
