Meet Anna Sofia Martin
Anna Sofia Martin is a Finnish-American editorial director, journalist, futurist, and sought-after voice on cultural trends. A seasoned storyteller, her work has appeared in Forbes, TED Blog, Newsweek International, and CNN Living, among others.

Her writing offers both intimacy and breadth, reflecting on culture with a voice shaped by resilience and curiosity. And beyond the words, don’t miss her stunning photography, which captures the beauty she sees in everyday moments: Anna’s Instagram.
