TEDxUWA Thursdays: Dr Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes BSc ’90 Mr

Dr Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes is passionate about lifelong learning and developing creative confidence – for all ages. Joined by Nithin Srinaath [BSc '16], Dr Anderson-Mayes walks us through her journey from majoring in Physics at UWA as the only woman in her cohort, to starting her own embroidery business which led her to speaking at TEDxUWA's first ever event in 2016.

BIO

Dr Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes is a hand embroidery artist based in Perth, WA. She has been stitching for as long as she can remember, but only took it up full-time in 2012 when she started her business, Beautiful Stitches. Her former professional career as a scientist was strongly grounded in mathematics, and that passion for geometry and number is clearly expressed in her embroidery designs. It is all about colour and pattern!
