Get ready to meet the ultimate multi-hyphenate—Anna Redman, the Bachelor Nation alum who has taken TikTok by storm and is now on a mission to empower creators with her latest venture, Subtle Haus. From her days as a small-town girl in Minnesota to becoming a viral sensation with over 160K followers, Anna has captured hearts with her positive vibes, relatable fashion tips, glowing makeup looks, and candid relationship insights.

But that’s not all! Anna’s new brand, Subtle Haus, is a creative playground like no other—a members-only space in Chicago where creators can collaborate, innovate, and bring their dreams to life. With a 5,000 square foot loft that’s packed with everything from podcast studios to getting-ready rooms, Subtle Haus is the place to be for anyone looking to elevate their content game.

And speaking of love, Anna’s off-screen romance with fellow Bachelor alum Chris Bukowski is as swoon-worthy as it gets. The two have recently moved in together, proving that sometimes, love really does bloom when the cameras stop rolling.

In this exclusive Q&A, Anna shares all the deets on her new brand, her must-have summer essentials, and the sweet details of her relationship with Chris. But first—here is Anna sharing her “Demure” side on TikTok.  

Can you tell us more about the inspiration behind Subtle Haus and what sets it apart from other creator spaces?

Subtle Haus was inspired by my own experiences working in creative environments and my desire to recreate that sense of community and access to high-end resources for others. After working in a creative advertising agency, I missed the amenities and collaborative spirit of that environment when I went freelance. I wanted to provide a space that offers not only a dynamic and inspiring workspace but also high-quality resources like photography studios and sound equipment that would be cost-prohibitive to rent individually. What sets Subtle Haus apart is its unique blend of a workspace, studio space, and membership club, creating a one-of-a-kind environment tailored specifically for creative professionals.

How has your experience on The Bachelor and your journey as a TikTok influencer influenced your approach to building and growing Subtle Haus?

Being on the show can catapult you into this world of content creation-if you want it to and know how to harness it. Given my creative background, I was able to swiftly channel my storytelling and content creation skills to maximize this opportunity. While I believe I would have eventually become a content creator regardless, the show ignited a newfound drive within me to elevate the quality of my work.

As a TikTok influencer, I’ve refined my ability to connect with audiences and understand what truly resonates with them. These insights have been instrumental in shaping Subtle Haus—guiding everything from its design and offerings to our engagement with members and our promotional strategies.

 

You recently raised money for the Chicago Women’s Shelter through Subtle Haus. What motivated you to support this cause, and how do you envision Subtle Haus making a difference in the community?

Supporting the Chicago Women’s Shelter was a natural choice for me, given my background and my mother’s work in non-profits. The idea for the closet sale event came from our community, and I saw it as a wonderful opportunity to combine giving back with a fun, engaging event. By channeling the proceeds to the shelter, we aimed to provide much-needed support to women and children in need while also bringing people into our space. I envision Subtle Haus continuing to host community-driven events that make a positive impact and support local causes.

 

What are your top summer must-haves in fashion, makeup, and interior design that you think everyone should know about?

Fashion trends I’m loving: 

Fashion Trends:

  • Light Knits: Who says cozy vibes are just for fall and winter? Embrace light knits in summer to keep things comfy and nostalgic. They’re perfect for those breezy, cool evenings.
  • Sequins: Sequins aren’t just for New Year’s anymore! Add a little sparkle to your everyday look—whether it’s a touch of shimmer on pants, a full-on sequin skirt with a blazer, or a fabulous bedazzled evening bag. It’s the most fun trend of the season!
  • Quilt-Core: Summer’s bringing patchwork skirts and detailed tied tops into the spotlight. It’s like wrapping yourself in a quilt of creativity and charm!
Makeup Trends:
  • Blush: I don’t believe in blush blindness. I believe more is more with blush! Don’t be afraid to layer it on for that perfect summer glow. It’s all about how you apply it, not just what you use, so get playful with those rosy cheeks!
  • Orange Nails: Orange is making a splash this summer! Even if we’re sipping Hugo Spritz over Aperol Spritz, your nails can still pop with a bright orange. It’s a fun way to make this vibrant hue your new summer neutral.

Interior Design Trends:

  • Color is Back: Say goodbye to sterile all-white spaces and hello to vibrant color! Make your home a reflection of your life and memories. Show off your grandma’s handwritten recipes, a treasured travel find, and your favorite color as a backsplash. Personality is the new chic!

You and Chris Bukowski have a unique love story that unfolded off-screen. How has your relationship evolved since moving in together, and what advice do you have for maintaining a healthy and supportive partnership?

Our relationship has grown stronger since moving in together. Living together has given us the opportunity to understand each other on a deeper level and to navigate everyday life as a team. It’s like a permanent sleepover with your best friend!

Communication is key to maintaining a healthy partnership—being open and honest with each other helps us address any challenges that arise. We also focus on supporting each other’s goals. With me opening my business, Subtle Haus, this year, Chris has been not only my cheerleader but also a hands-on helper, assisting with so much without me having to ask. He really shows up for me and loves watching me do my thing.
