About Anna Presutti

Hello / Ciao!My name is Anna Presutti, and I study Human-Centered Design and Development at Penn State—an interdisciplinary program combining computer science and UX design with hands-on digital product development. I focus on creating experiences that connect people with technology in practical and meaningful ways.I’ve worked with TBM Labs, an early-stage startup, helping guide CareTinuum beyond its MVP phase by shaping its UX direction and brand identity. I’ve also led media and marketing efforts for student organizations, producing content and strategy that expanded their presence and strengthened student engagement. Currently, I’m leading an HCI research study aimed at publication and serve as a Learning Assistant for HCDD 440, my major’s capstone course, where I support senior teams in delivering polished, real-world prototypes.I’m drawn to technology because it intersects with everything I care about—from music and languages to motorsport. That perspective shapes my design approach: research-driven, iterative, and grounded in real business impact, an area I plan to further explore through an MBA. Let’s connect!
