Anissa Douglass · Founder & Creative Director
Anissa’s approach to Public Prep was shaped long before the brand’s launch. Raised with early exposure to fashion and retail through her father, alongside formal training as a debutante and years of modeling experience, she developed a grounded understanding of fit, proportion, poise, and how presentation shapes an environment.
She later brought that perspective to high-stakes institutional settings, holding a federal appointment where she directed advance planning, event curation, menu design, and guest hospitality for government and executive retreats—environments where discretion, precision, and visual cohesion were non-negotiable.
Her experience also includes award-show teams and recognition work for two Cabinet secretaries and LinkedIn Global Leadership. Her production background spans menu curation, run-of-show direction, volunteer management, music direction, and experience design.
Her work has included White House and senior government event advance and production for LinkedIn’s first hybrid Sales Kickoff, with 3,000 global attendees. She holds an MFA from USC School of Cinematic Arts.
She hears the issue, builds the plan, assembles the team, and oversees execution.
