Hi, I'm Anna!

I am an Emmy award-winning product designer and director. I combine beautiful aesthetics, strategy, data, research, and a touch of delight to create purposeful products that deliver true value to users and businesses. I spent 11 fun-filled years at Nickelodeon, where, amongst many things, I learned the value of interaction design and delight. A smart animated loader is awesome, regardless of the audience. I’m all about teamwork, inspiring others, and challenging my team to achieve the best user experience and design excellence. Every day, I'm grateful to do what I love and use my talents for good!

I've had the privilege of designing with incredibly creative, award-winning teams in entertainment, education, e-commerce, fintech, the arts, and travel.

When not designing, I travel, sail, paint, bike, kayak, and try to learn Italian. I love the beach and am proud to say I have been to 28 Greek islands.

I’ve worked for some great brands, such as MoneyLion, JetBlue, Chase, Jet.comNickelodeon, and MarcoPolo Learning, and individual clients, such as fashion designers, stylists, musicians, authors, and restauranteurs.
