Anna Messini

Senior Designer

Amsterdam, Netherlands
Hello, I'm Anna, a multidisciplinary Designer focusing on UI/UX and Graphic Design. Coming from a scientific educational and professional background I followed my true calling and gained a BA (Hons) in Graphic Art Design.

I combine my researcher’s skills and analytical thinking with imagination and creativity to achieve design solutions and experience to each project. I relish the challenge of new projects requiring forward thinking and investigation and believe in using design as a mean of problem solving and communication.
