The Beauty of Belonging
Welcome to the Porter Anna Family!
I'm Katie Janson—Founder, Designer and pay-it-forward believer. My matriarchs Porter, Anna, Kathleen and Ruth nurtured family, education, creativity, and resourcefulness to create joyful lives and promising futures for us all. They are a testament to what a village of love and support can inspire.

Passion
From a career in design dedicated to helping people — creating and strategizing for places and brands, large and small, around the world—to enduring fellowship and friendship that transcend cultural boundaries, I am beyond grateful to forever carry these women in my heart, and share their promise through my art and interactions.

Purpose
At Porter Anna, we’ve harnessed these experiences to foster beautiful design closer to home. As a woman-owned small business, we're carrying forward our matriarchs' values and skills — blending story and design into goods that are both meaningful and enduring, bringing polish and cheer to everyday life. Most importantly, a portion of proceeds will support scholarship funds and local PTAs, helping others be part of our Porter Anna community.

Practice
Today, Porter Anna is a lifestyle brand that designs sentimental prints and patterns for gifts and décor—crafted to celebrate life with heart, joy and style. In lieu of producing en masse, we work with print-on-demand suppliers in the United States to print your order uniquely, with aims to use resources more efficiency and reduce inventory excess.
