About Anna

I design and lead production of brand activations, events & trade shows, exhibitions & conferences, spatial storytelling and experiential marketing campaigns.


My work is always anchored in human experience while fused with the company's identity, strategy, and KPIs. That's how I turn my clients' activities into momentum, prosperity and organic growth, not just cool photos.

With over 10 years' experience in customer-facing roles in Marketing, Sales, CX, BD, Event Production across corporates and startups, I've found myself operating best between vision and execution, rescuing companies resources and protecting their identity against operational constraints to make them distinctive, and just hard to forget.
