Design · Writing · Development

Hello. I’m Anna.

I design, write, and develop websites and apps.

I work with words, images and technology to help people explain what they do, share what they know and bring their ideas to life.

Work with me

What are you working on?

I can help with the writing, the visual design and the building of websites and interactive tools. Bring me what you have—even if it’s still a little messy—and we can work out what would help. That might be a whole project or one part of it.

Website examples for small businesses

The examples below give you something to explore. You might like how a page introduces a place, how the information is arranged or something you can try for yourself. It gives us a starting point for talking about your own project—and what you’d like it to do.

The fictional Barceloneta language-school website, introducing courses near the sea.

A language school

Barceloneta School

Compare courses, explore a weekly timetable and see how the price changes as you choose your lessons and extras. I created this fictional school to show how a website can help someone work through their options.

Cala Silvestre’s hotel website, with its coastal photograph and navigation to rooms and dates.

Get a feel for the place, look through the rooms and check dates for a stay. This example brings the invitation to visit and the practical details together.

A restaurant

Mediterráneamente

Browse the menu and explore a table-reservation form organised around the date, time and number of guests. A website that helps someone go from “that looks good” to planning a visit.

Your project might look quite different. These are starting points for a conversation about what would be useful for you.

Selected work

From research to something people can explore.

Some subjects take time to understand. I enjoy getting into the detail: following the connections, working out what needs explaining and finding a form that helps someone follow the ideas.

These three projects show how that process takes shape.

For researchers, therapists and educators, I can help present a body of work, explain a complex subject or develop an educational resource. We develop and review the material together, guided by your professional judgement.

Martha Tronco’s website, presenting her research, teaching and publications.

A researcher’s work, brought together

Dr Martha Alicia Tronco Rosas

Martha’s work spans research, teaching, publications and a long professional career. I began by understanding how those parts connect, then worked on the structure, writing, design and development of her website.

The result gives visitors different ways into her work, with connections between related projects and publications.

El Gradiente’s guide to patterns of harm, with descriptions and navigation.

Developing a guide together

El Gradiente

I’m developing El Gradiente with Martha: a digital guide to patterns of harm. The collaboration brings together her experience with Violentómetro 1 and 2.0 and my work on TEG-Blue, writing, visual design and digital tools.

I organise the content, connect descriptions with examples and develop the pages through which people explore the guide. It is a working resource that we continue to develop.

The TEG-Blue tools library, with questions linking to reflection tools.

Questions you can explore through an interactive tool

TEG-Blue

I created TEG-Blue to explore emotions, behaviour and relationships. Alongside the developing framework and its research sources, I build tools that offer guided reflections, comparisons and interactive maps.

The wording and the interaction develop together: what someone reads, what they can compare and how they move through a question. The tools are intended for reflection and education, with their evidence limits explained alongside the work.

About

A background in media, a practice across disciplines.

I started in television and advertising in Barcelona, then worked with production companies in Mexico. Later, I was a Media Producer and Art Director at Bloomberg in Singapore. Along the way, I also co-founded a motorcycle travel agency in Germany.

Today, my work brings together writing, visual design and development—from understanding a subject to making something people can use.

More about me

Personal work

Essays, reflections and imaginary worlds.

What have we learned to accept about love, kindness or our own worth? Some of my writing begins with a familiar belief that I want to look at again. Understanding someone’s pain, for example, doesn’t settle what behaviour we should accept from them.

Instagram

Something to look at. Something to think about.

I bring words and images together in short reflections on feelings, relationships and everyday expectations. Sometimes a post puts a familiar experience into words. Sometimes it invites a second look at something we’ve always taken for granted.

Substack

Some questions need more than a few lines.

In my essays, I can stay with a question and explore what makes it complicated. Personal experience and books become ways into subjects such as love, responsibility and the distance between understanding someone and excusing the harm they cause.

Illustrations

The ghosts have a reading club.

There are flowers, curious characters and little worlds to wander into. In these collections, I explore colour, atmosphere and the stories a scene can suggest.
