JobsWorth - Anneka Lange

On JobsWorth this week, I’m joined by Leigh on Sea based sign writer, illustrator and artist, Anneka Lange.Since moving to Leigh from the West Country seven years ago, Annie has become the go to person for anyone looking to have a piece of artwork adorn their shop, office, building, boat, bedroom… oh, and basketball court.We explore what it was like growing up in Cheltenham with a family of creatives, how she honed her craft at university before landing her first ‘proper’ job with a well known brand, and the importance of working alongside people who give you opportunities to push your limits.Annie also shares what brought her to this part of Essex, how she landed her first client after arriving, and why- despite being a super busy working mum of two- she’s got her sights set on developing a side project fusing her love of art, sport and clothing.Whilst you might sometimes see Annie up a ladder, on a scaffold or somewhere in the vicinity of her trusty toolbox, she’s rarely found in front of a camera- so the team and I feel super honoured that she said yes to coming on and sharing her story.Please enjoy...
