Every story begins with an idea…

Hello there! My name is AnneMarie Meyer, but I go by Charlie. I grew up with three older brothers, my mom, and my grandmother outside of Rochester, New York. From a very young age, my obsession for trying to create something new out of something old, or seemingly unusable began. I remember when I was 8 years old, I built my first piece. Since we only had 1 couch and six of us living there, I decided to make a small "kid sized" couch, in order to give us more room to spread out.

I find that I am constantly inspired, every single day, with everything around me, especially nature. I find that I have this need to recreate every home that I have ever owned, inside and out, in a way that I want it to speak to its guests... To say, "Come on in, get comfy and please stay as long as you like."  And through this, I have come to realize that all my ideas, my visions, and creations have outgrown the space in my home.

So, it's time to expand out and be creative for others and their homes, and lives. So, with my son's help and the loving support of my husband, family and friends, I start my journey and my new business, Bird On a Branch Design. I would love to be a part of helping you create something unique out of something you thought was useless. Or to build you something new and creative out of repurposed materials. Let me help create something that can tell your story.
