While working in Paris with Joanna Blazejowska, a known Polish designer, Anna had the opportunity to test her talents in graphic design by creating the installations for ASKA's Pret-a`-Porter, Paris Automne-Hiver 2007 and 2008 collections.
In 2007,2008 and 2011 she was awarded The Juror's Prize at The International Jewelry Conference 'Amberif' in Gdansk, Poland.
