hello.

My name is Anna Marie, and I am invested in empathetic, human- centered research as the foundation for effective design

about me:

  • 2022-23 Medtronic - Human Factors & User Experience Design Co-op

    2021-22 3M - Insights to Innovation Design Intern

    2020 University of Minnesota, College of Design - Research Assistant aiding production of emergency COVID-95 masks with unconventional materials sourced from local manufacturers

    2019-21 University of Minnesota, College of Design - Fabrication Student Technician

    2018 Kay James Design - Graphic Design Intern

  • The necessity of empathy is never lost on me, and I try my best to approach my projects by learning about the human part of a problem first. Because I spent most of my life struggling to understand and express my identity freely, and the latter portion of my life struggling to successfully advocate for my identity, I care deeply about work that impacts disenfranchised groups.

  • It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

  • Industrial, UX/UI, and Service Design projects with a focus on research work
