RECENT WORK

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

I’m Anna—a marketing professional born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, now based in Denver, Colorado. My approach is rooted in curiosity, empathy, and creative problem-solving. I focus on understanding audiences deeply—asking the right questions, challenging assumptions, and uncovering the insights that drive meaningful, user-centered strategies.

‍With over a decade of marketing experience in entertainment, I bring a strong foundation in branding, visual design, and storytelling. My background in event and crew management has sharpened my ability to stay organized, adaptable, and empathetic in fast-paced environments. I thrive in cross-functional collaboration, client communication, and creating clear, intentional messaging that connects with people.

Beyond work, I find joy in traveling, sharing meals with friends, and making memories around a table full of food. I’m also committed to self-care through time outdoors, meditation, and the occasional motorcycle ride.

Not only was she effective at engaging users for insights but she was very personable as well, ensuring interviewees felt at ease. She had a mind focused on the big picture and always made sure insights or recommendations were useful and relevant to our project’s goals. She would be a great addition to any team!"

I also appreciated Anna’s flexibility when plans didn’t unfold as we anticipated, as well as her ability to see things as objectively as possible."
"Anna is a brilliant researcher and writer! Watching her user interviews inspired my own. I observed how she created a safe and inviting space for participants to express themselves fully. She was essential to the success of our project. Her intuitive, empathic, and analytical input transformed our deliverables (client demos, reports, affinity maps) time and time again. Anna is an excellent UX researcher and her presence would benefit any team of her choosing."
