Ann has a background in performance arts and has earned her spurs in the Brussels social sector, focusing on playful and engaging language learning techniques, as well as digital inclusion and social innovation.

Until 2018, she coordinated Fablab and Medialab Brussels. Her enthusiasm inspires (young) innovators to explore new technologies and take on (social) challenges, preferably through a co-creation approach. She also teaches interaction courses and coaches students from Multimedia & Creative Technologies from the Erasmushogeschool Brussels.

She currently works at a local Brussels ngo TADA to enlarge impact for a more inclusive society.

She has been involved in several SEADS projects and enjoys the overlap of tinkering and social interaction, as well as the new horizons a transdisciplinary approach offers. She has a particular interest in e-Textiles.

You could also bump into her on a swing dancing event or at a game table. Ann loves Brussels for its diversity and unexpected encounters. Her hidden agenda is somewhat anarcho-feminist.
