Anastasia is an expert in how the human mind learns and creates. With a Ph.D. from Cambridge and 20 years as a Professor at a major ‘public Ivy’ university, she has spent her career studying creativity and designing learning environments for thousands of people. Her credentials include AI ethics, AI tools for creativity, generative AI in higher education, learning design, and design thinking for innovation.
In the academic world, she has produced several books and over 40 publications, won dozens of research grants, and lectured at universities like Yale, Princeton and Oxford. But her superpower comes from teaching diverse audiences and interacting with learners. With over 10,000 hours spent in the classroom, she knows exactly how to get people to understand complex ideas and think differently.
As Aeons Chief Learning Architect, she takes that deep academic research and turns it into practical, everyday tools for businesses. A lot of corporate training is inspiring but quickly forgotten. Anastasia solves that problem. She designs step-by-step programs that help teams and individual creators learn new skills quickly, use AI safely, and actually change their daily work habits for good.
