Anna Sutton spent a decade at LAIKA Studios, where she started as a painter and left as head of the Puppet Paint department. Along the way, she managed a team of artists, built workflow systems used across the department and studio, and helped put three Oscar-nominated films on screen.

Through AB Sutton Design, she helps creative studios and corporate teams build clear brand identities and practical systems that keep the work moving and the business growing.

Her focus lately is human-AI collaboration, practiced daily rather than talked about. She builds tools like Carrierfile that let people own their context and keep their AI working the way they do, and writes The Carrierfile, a weekly newsletter of hands-on "Take-Home Experiments" that show everyday people how to make AI genuinely theirs. It's all the same instinct: help people see their own context clearly, so they can better navigate the tools and systems they work with.
