Anna Gerber is founder and creative consultant specialising in creating narratives at the intersection of emerging technologies, arts and culture.

A proud Peabody Futures Award winner, I’ve worked with world class brands and organisations, including Google’s Empathy Lab, Google Arts & Culture, Google Creative Lab, The British Library and Penguin Random House to deliver surprising, connecting and accessible narratives for discerning audiences for over twenty years. I was founder and creative partner for award-winning storytelling business Visual Editions for nearly fifteen years.

I also write about technology; my latest stories are for The Financial Times on fragrances using AI and on the merging of spirituality and technology for Creative Review.

I am currently working as a consultant on a digital exhibition with The National Gallery to celebrate their 200 year anniversary and developing the launch for an online quarterly magazine on technology and spirituality. The magazine is called Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. Urgent and hopeful. I like to think of it as treating technology like it's the divine in disguise. Follow our IG for updates.
