For event designer Anastasia Baker, creativity and opportunity have always gone hand in hand. Her journey into the world of high-end events began in an unexpected way—through a Craigslist ad. At just 23, while designing sets for film and television,
she came across a listing for an event assistant position in New York. That chance application led to a transformative role working alongside renowned event designer Raul Ávila, where she quickly found her calling. Her first floral arrangement was featured at a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda dinner at Sotheby’s, and her early clients included icons like Oscar de la Renta. She even worked on several Met Galas, experiences she calls a “masterclass in events.”

A defining moment came when she produced her first major event at The Plaza for The Valley Hospital Gala—a personal milestone that reignited her confidence and reaffirmed her path. It was, she says, her “Freddie Mercury at Live Aid moment,” a
turning point that came during a period of professional and personal challenges. Anastasia’s eye for beauty and detail was nurtured early by her mother, who instilled in her a love for design and discipline, and by family and friends who helped shape
her creative vision. Today, what she values most are the lasting relationships she’s built with clients who trust her to bring their most meaningful occasions to life. For Anastasia, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about heart, connection, and the
stories created along the way.
