I'M ANNA.

I come from a degree in Socio-Cultural Anthropology and a family of designers. I've been working in Art, Food Styling and Direction for the past 15 years. I live and work in various countries and express myself in two languages. These things influence me. I like to unearth and play with the deeper cultural “norms” — conscious or subconscious — we live in.


I prefer to work with alive things and not dead things; things that constantly change. I often work with food because of its peculiar and overwhelming capacity to captivate a human being. I love beautiful things, and I love to make seemingly not beautiful things become beautiful, which is usually a simple change of perspective. 


I like jokes and playful ideas and taking things out of their context towards fresh ways of seeing and understanding.



Personally, I can tend to ruts — ruts in the mind, ruts in habits, putting my feet in the mud and getting stuck. I insist on conceptual work because it keeps my mind from getting crusty. A personal self-care approach that also contributes to creating, I hope, a more interesting environment to live in.



I love win-wins.



I understand creativity as a subtle agent for evolution. I don't often yell or go to protests or get into heated discussions on politics. I work in the quiet, nearly imperceptible micro-levels. I work in the details and the undercurrents. I tend towards unaggressive approaches to reworking thought and habit, using art / delight / humor / play / imagination as platforms for change.

Thanks for your interest.

xoxo, A
