Annie Niedergang

Annie Niedergang is a Portland architect and a self-taught basket maker. Her hand-woven backpack-style pack baskets were originally designed out of necessity: as an avid mushroom hunter, she realized she wanted her hands free so she could use walking sticks while moving through the forest. 3 years and more than 300 pack baskets later, her baskets have become a favorite for trips to the farmers’ market, grocery shopping, and adventures both on and off trail.
