The Hands Behind the Pieces

Annie is a ceramic artist, designer, and storyteller who started her career in engineering before finding her way back to her hands, her creativity, and herself.

She spent years building systems and solving problems, but clay offered something else: warmth, presence, and a quiet space to reconnect. What began as a simple after work hobby became a philosophy for a softer way of living and a grounding in slowness, intention, and creativity.

Pooterie Studio is her way of sharing that world with you.

Her pieces blend her Asian American heritage, her eye for thoughtful design, and the precision carried over from engineering. Shaped slowly, intentionally, and with a lot of heart.

She makes objects meant to bring comfort, beauty, and a soft moment to everyday life - pieces made for the moments that feel like home.
