ABOUT
Anna Dorothea Ker is a writer and editor with 7 years' experience helping creative industry leaders to tell their stories – accelerating reach, engagement and impact.
Previously, she was Senior Editor at Ignant (2015-2017), where she set the minimalist aesthetic agenda that shaped 2010s architecture, art and design for a fast-growing readership (now 800K+). As Editor-in-Chief of Cee Cee Berlin (2017-2019), she directed the editorial programme for the city’s influential broadsheet and managed brand partnerships with the likes of Google, Sonos and Campari Group, as well as cultural institutions and tourism boards.

She has had the privilege of interviewing several creative iconoclasts, including Eero Aarnio, Piet Oudolf, Alec Soth, Erwan Bouroullec, Mathieu Lehanneur, Lilli Hollein, Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects and Laurence Leenaert of LRNCE.
Anna’s approach to impactful storytelling sees her align natural creativity with digital fluency and a meticulous working style honed through her Master’s degree in Law, which focused on the socio-legal implications of AI and blockchain. This expertise uniquely positions her to support creative brands in navigating the fast-moving digital landscape.
A seasoned traveller with roots in Germany and Aotearoa New Zealand, Anna lives and works between Europe and the Antipodes.
