Anne was an undergraduate student at Queen\u2019s School of Computing. At the iStudio, she was exploring interactive physical artefacts to support co-dining experiences for isolated individuals with their friends and families, for the purposes of positively impacting mental health. Anne is now a Design Technologist at Spotify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
