Anna Gerber is founder of Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. She also works as creative consultant specialising in designing 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 Workers for The National Gallery to celebrate their 200 year anniversary and have recently launched a new editorial, events and workshop platform dedicated to tech with spirit. The platform is called Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming. Urgent and hopeful. Follow our IG for updates and join and become a member to gain access.
