Annika Layne (b. 1996) is an American artist who lives and works in Santa Cruz, California.

Inspired by architecture, interior settings, travel, and bygone times, her work explores the intersections of domesticity, daily life, and design. These intersections produce pieces that feel nostalgic and represent her exploration of identity and self-acceptance.

She currently resides in an industrial live/work space with her husband and shaggy dog and enjoys spending time surfing and dabbling in design outside of her creative practice. 

In early 2023, Annika launched Case Study, a design label hosting products that merge functionality with visual design inspired by nostalgia, minimalism, and joyful colors. For a look at her products, go to creativecasestudy.com.
