Anna's design led research centres upon the development of books into new technology. Her work questions how tactile qualities are important in the physical book and on screen, the value of the book as an object, and the way in which we read and discover books.

Her MA show e-book app gathers together the experiments made over the past two years. Analyzing a breadth of projects ranging from books that fold to reflect the laughter in a room to publishing her zine 'Vapid Kitten' on Kindle for the first time. The piece seeks to draw forth understandings and reflections on experiences had as both a designer learning how to use new technology and as a reader. She hopes to blur the distinctions between book and blog, as part of a never-ending analogue and digital narrative on books in new technology.
