hei, I’m Anna ✿
As a designer, I place accessibility at the heart of my work, weaving narratives of hope for brighter futures for people and our planet. I value engaging users throughout the design process, encouraging co-creation and learning together as a team.
My greatest fulfillment comes from creating prototypes to explore identified opportunities. By collecting and understanding people's stories, I aim to foster a shared understanding of our continuously evolving relationship with technology.
