Meet Jared Frank of @jaredfrankstudio —a designer, storyteller, and collector of experiences, spaces, and objects. From his Los Angeles home, Casa Larissa, to restaurants, nightclubs, and bespoke furniture, Jared shapes environments where people can connect, explore, and feel fully themselves. In our interview, we talked about his journey from dance to film to design, the narrative behind every space he creates, the ways his partner Krista has influenced and inspired him, and the playful curiosity that has fueled his work since childhood.
“For me, design is a process of discovery rather than starting with a fixed end in mind. You don’t necessarily know where you’ll end up when you start. And I think that’s where the creativity lives—in that unfolding.”
Jared’s work isn’t just about interiors—it’s about experiences, objects with stories, and spaces that invite wonder, connection, and joy.

Mt. Washington, Los Angeles
Join us for a hands-on workshop exploring Kawari Mokume Shibori (変わり木目), a contemporary variation of traditional Mokume Shibori, the Japanese “wood grain” stitch-resist dyeing technique known for its flowing, organic patterns inspired by natural wood grain and forest textures.
In this immersive workshop, participants will learn stitch-resist techniques to create unique Kawari Mokume patterns, dye their work with natural indigo, and take home a hand-dyed Japanese indigo tea towel.
All materials are provided.
Light lunch and snacks will be available on a donation basis. During the stitching portion of the workshop, live ambient music by @opris_eilah will accompany the process, creating a calm and immersive atmosphere.
Adrian Lubanski , founder of @indigo_inari , studied Traditional Japanese Textile Design in Japan for five years and now teaches both there and at Anda.

Meet Gloria Noto of @noto_botanics - a makeup artist, founder, and intuitive creator shaping a more human, inclusive vision of beauty.
From her early days experimenting with makeup in Detroit to building NOTO from her Silverlake kitchen, @glorianoto ’s work is rooted in emotion, memory, and self-expression.
In our conversation, we talk about her path from art school to makeup, the scrappy beginnings of her career, and the moment she discovered beauty could be a true creative language. She reflects on reconnecting with her Sicilian heritage, the influence of her partner and community, and the rituals that keep her grounded as her world expands between LA, Portland, and Italy.
“For me, it always starts with a feeling… The process feels like alchemy - taking an emotion and giving it a body.”
Gloria’s approach to beauty goes beyond products - it’s about creating space for people to feel seen, exploring identity without rules, and honoring the quiet rituals that bring us back to ourselves.

Interview, Photography and Film by Anda
This morning I sent an email to those who came along to our first Indigo workshop with @indigo_inari , sharing photos I took on film with my Konica, and found myself reflecting on what a special day it was.
A warm spring day spent under the trees, quietly stitching, sharing food, stories, ideas, and conversations. Watching strangers become connected around the table, through craft and learning, felt deeply meaningful. We had creatives, people from corporate worlds, curious hands all coming together to slow down, explore creativity in different ways, and simply be present with one another - a little escape from the hum of daily life.
By the end of the day I was completely exhausted. It honestly took me a week to recover, complete with ridiculous clog tan lines, but it was absolutely worth it.
We still have a few spaces left in our upcoming workshops. Creating gatherings like this always feels a little vulnerable, but I have to remind myself that I’ve always wanted to keep them intimate. They were never really meant to be about scale as much as connection. It’s about sharing knowledge, passing on experience, and making space for people to gather and connect in real life.
I hope you’ll join us at one soon so we can meet too. For upcoming workshops 🔗 Link in Bio

In this episode of Anda’s When I Grow Up series, narrated by @glorianoto , founder of NOTO Botanics, we step inside her world at NOTO Headquarters for an intimate portrait of her daily life, creative practice, and philosophy on building a meaningful brand. Through reflections on entrepreneurship, identity, and self-trust, Gloria shares her belief that there is no single path to success, that every experience, challenge, and turning point shapes the unique way we create, grow, and lead.
Filmed inside her store and creative space, the episode captures Gloria’s honest perspective on building a business rooted in authenticity, individuality, and intention. Rather than following formulas or expectations, she speaks to the importance of listening to your own instincts and allowing your journey to unfold in its own way.
Known for her boundary-pushing approach to beauty and wellness through NOTO Botanics, Gloria brings her thoughtful and deeply personal perspective to Anda’s When I Grow Up interviews, an ongoing exploration of artists, founders, and makers who are shaping their own definitions of work, success, and a meaningful life.

Traditional Japanese Textile Design with Natural Indigo Dye 🌿
Join us on April 4th from 10am–2pm in Los Angeles for a special workshop on the Karamatsu technique with Adrian Lubanski.
We have two spots remaining—sign up through the link in bio.
Karamatsu Shibori is a traditional Japanese stitch-resist technique, translating to “Japanese larch.” It creates concentric, radiating patterns from the center, reminiscent of larch tree branches.
Adrian, founder of @indigo_inari , is deeply passionate about teaching the art of indigo dyeing. After falling in love with Japanese culture and traditional crafts during his travels six years ago, he has dedicated himself to preserving and sharing this beautiful practice. He now teaches both in Japan and at Anda, helping keep this fading tradition alive.
Traditional Japanese textile design is slowly disappearing in Japan—this workshop is a rare opportunity to learn, connect, and be part of its continuation beyond Japan.
Join us at Anda and learn the basics of hand embroidery in a warm, welcoming space.
Embroidery is a slow, meditative practice - gentle, repetitive stitching that helps calm the mind and bring you into a relaxed, creative flow.
In this class, you’ll learn the essential stitches (a prerequisite for our Botanical Embroidery class) and leave with your finished piece in a bamboo hoop.
Our instructor, the lovely Denise Millard, has been embroidering since she was 10 years old. She first discovered her love for stitching while living in Spain as a child. Now at 70, embroidery remains her true passion, and she loves sharing this beautiful craft with others.

In this episode of Anda’s When I Grow Up series, chef and Honey Hi co-founder Kacie Carter Chamberlayne shares the rhythms of her life as a mother, nutritionist, and restaurant owner in Echo Park, Los Angeles. She reflects on the beauty and tension of modern motherhood - having access to meaningful work and creative ambition while honoring the physical, emotional, and temporal realities of raising a child.
Kacie shares a deeply personal perspective on identity, letting go of the constant drive toward “becoming more,” and instead finding wholeness through integration. From running a beloved community restaurant to tending to small daily rituals, she reveals how life can be lived artistically in the present—through care, intention, and attention to the moments that often go unseen.
This film is part of Anda’s When I Grow Up—an ongoing exploration of artists, founders, and makers redefining success, balance, and what it means to live a connected, meaningful life.

SOLD OUT - We’re delighted to announce our first workshop at Anda - an intimate Forest Therapy experience guided by writer and certified forest therapy guide @danamolly .
Forest therapy is a sensory-based mindful nature practice that brings people into deeper kinship with the natural world, each other, and themselves. Inspired by shinrin-yoku, translated to 'forest bathing' in Japanese, forest therapy has been shown to reduce stress, boost creativity and mood, and foster a greater sense of belonging and well-being. Neither a hike nor an aimless stroll, forest therapy offers a series of accessible sensory invitations that help us drop into our bodies, connect to our senses, and experience a sense of wonder and connection with the world around us. It is enough to show up and see, smell, and feel what there is to see, smell, and feel. This practice is equally gratifying when attended solo or with friends.
We'll close with tea and reflections in the Anda garden.
Length: Approx. 2 hours

In our interview, we talk about healing, creativity, motherhood, letting go of perfection, and what it really means to feel nourished in this season of life.

We gathered around a long table, with music in the air and birds singing along - no soundtrack, just real life. Incredible food, art happening in real time, kids playing in the background, and friends soaking up the sun. We did a group art therapy session, reflecting on the past year and looking ahead , shedding old feelings, bringing in new ones. Our first gathering was truly magical. Deep gratitude to @because_the_wind , @opris_eilah , @velvet.empresss , @soft___future , @vivianrubinphotography and friends who made it so special, and excited for many more like this.
