About Anna

Hey! I'm Anna,  a Senior Industrial Designer at Smart Design in New York. My educational background is in Industrial Design (BSD) and Design Management (BA) as well as a minor in Spanish language from Arizona State University. Prior to joining Smart Design, I interned at Adidas as a Footwear Designer, Hasbro as a Product Design Intern, Unilever and a few other local companies. I'm a desert child, born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona but I've had some incredible opportunities which have allowed me to visit over 20 different countries and 41 of the 50 states so far. I'm passionate about sustainability and caring for our planet, I have a love of photography, building + making, and exploring new places and foods!
