01 / About me

Curiosity meets direction.

Hi, I'm Anna — a Fashion Management student at IU International University, working towards a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.). I'm based in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Fashion interests me for the ideas, people and business decisions behind it. Alongside my studies, I work at C&A in fashion retail. Earlier customer-facing roles in hospitality taught me about service, teamwork and day-to-day operations.

My background also includes design, illustration and creative projects. I'm exploring where business and creativity meet — and looking to connect with people across the fashion industry.
