[About me]
ANNA CHILDRESS
PROJECT MANAGER
Anna Childress is a highly regarded project management professional with more than a decade of experience delivering high-performance workplaces. Widely recognized as one of Atlanta’s leading experts in the furniture industry, she brings a rare former-dealer perspective that enables North Ave to offer a seamless, budget-conscious, and schedule-driven approach to this complex — and often overlooked — workstream.
Her portfolio includes some of the largest and most recognizable headquarters projects in the city, such as Norfolk Southern, RaceTrac, HD Supply, and Global Payments. In each, she has led diverse teams, balanced competing priorities, and delivered spaces that meet both operational objectives and user needs. Known for her approachable leadership style and meticulous attention to detail, Anna excels at integrating FF&E into the broader project plan, ensuring design intent is realized without compromising cost or schedule.
Before joining North Ave, Anna managed workplace transformation programs for two of the largest commercial furniture dealers in the city — Office Creations and, most recently, turnerboone — collaborating closely with architects, designers, and construction teams to create functional, inspiring environments. As a Project Manager with North Ave, Anna applies her deep FF&E expertise within the full scope of project management services, bringing strategic insight, hands-on execution, and a client-first mindset to every stage of the project.
