I first met Annie through her work with Muttville, a local non-profit for adopting senior dogs where we found our MinPin. My wife started editing videos to help get more dogs adopted, and Annie was another volunteer doing the same work. I initially got to know her through her videos, where she did an amazing job bringing out the personalities of all the pups she was showcasing. All of her work has a happy energy, and when I met her in person I realized that all came from her.

I was also astonished to find out that she was producing multiple videos a week using just her eyes. Her disability means this is the most effective way for her to interact with a computer, and she has become very proficient with the interface, to the point that she’s playing Far Cry better than I can.

Because Annie’s doing such extraordinary work, my wife Joanne decided to collaborate with her on a documentary about her daily life, to share her story and have her voice heard more widely. You can check out the one-minute trailer above, and find the full documentary here.

Annie is a big fan of Canva, and uses it for all her video editing. She would love to connect with anyone who works there to pass along her thanks for an application which enables so much creativity. If any of my readers know someone at the company, please pass this along!
