Hi! I'm Anna, the founder of Little Red Design Studio based in Dublin, Ireland. I graduated from The National College of Art and Design with a B.A. in Product Design. The squirrel resembles my own personality as resourceful, playful, energetic with the ability to hibernate on those rainy Saturday mornings!! Education was mostly a struggle for me growing up, being an "average" grader. I decided I would like to make an impact in how we teach valuable lessons to children through products. I strive to create educational tools that are inclusive to all children at each stage of cognitive development and including children with learning disabilities. And, hey! what better way to teach these lessons through a child's natural ability to play?

Reintegrating art and design into education has been demonstrated to increase the happiness and well-being of students, Form a business and perspective. The major payoffs include better problem-solving skills and increased creativity and innovation, The integration of arts into STEM education and fields may also help encourage more participation by women in what have been male-dominated areas.
