But more importantly, a builder of experiences, connection, and community.
What started with SkinOwl has evolved into something much bigger than a skincare company.
Over the years, Annie has built brands, launched new ventures, created gathering spaces, led teams, spoken on stages, navigated hard seasons, embraced reinvention, and continued showing up with remarkable honesty through it all.
Her entrepreneurial journey hasn’t been a straight line.
It’s been one of courage.
The courage to start.
The courage to grow.
The courage to pivot.
And perhaps most importantly, the courage to redefine success on her own terms.
In a world constantly pushing for more, Annie has become a voice reminding people that success isn’t always found in chasing the next thing.
Sometimes it’s found in building a life that actually feels like your own.
That perspective has resonated far beyond her businesses. Through her writing, singing, speaking, and storytelling, Annie has created something people genuinely connect with.
Not because it’s perfect but because it’s real.
Behind every successful founder is a team helping bring the vision to life, and Annie has spent years building both. Through intention, creativity, trust, and heart, she has built brands and communities that make people feel seen, welcomed, and connected.
The result is more than a collection of businesses.
It’s a community.
And that’s exactly what an Icon is.
A brand with presence.
A brand with momentum.
A brand that has created real impact in the lives of others.
We’re honored to welcome Annie as one of the first Icons selected for FIRST LIGHT: THE ICON.
On Thursday, July 23, Annie will step onto the red carpet with her own paparazzi, surrounded by OutWest Founder Photographers ready to capture the story behind the woman, the team, and the brands she has built.
