Hello I am Anna

I am product designer, AI enthusiast and Discovery master. I do service design and have helped shape design culture. I live in a sunny Miami, and NYC before that.

I love to organize chaos (virgo vibes ♍), to see things get from problem or idea to concept to being build; and I also love to mentor designers.

Energy and grit are my superpowers and I use them daily at work and at home.

I have a baby, she is 15 month old and a total love of my life!

In my spare time - I honestly don’t have spare time any more 🙃, but any extra time I can find I spend learning AI and exploring world with my baby 😶‍🌫️
