Anna Gross

Hello! I’m Anna—

I'm currently studying Product Design at Carnegie Mellon School of Design and looking for full time opportunity post-graduation this May.

Much of my work stems from my attempts to understand the world around me. As an industrial designer, I’m passionate about exploring how to “physicalize” abstract concepts or metaphors to create more emotionally rich experiences. I hope to help people create intimate and powerful relationships with their objects— encouraging them to consider their own connection to society, a product, or themselves.

I love movies, music, animals, board games, all fruits, most vegetables, and design.
