ANNA STEWART
Anna Stewart’s love for design has always gone hand in hand with her deep desire to help others. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, she moved to the Bay Area in 2008, carrying with her a creative spirit and a heart drawn to meaningful work.
Her design journey began at Design Within Reach (DWR), where she fell in love with modern design and honed her ability to create spaces that are both beautiful and functional. But it wasn’t until 2015, while taking an Interior Design class at Las Positas College, that Anna found something even more powerful, a purpose. After hearing a speech by Shelley, the Executive Director of Rooms of Hope, Anna felt an immediate connection to the mission and began volunteering her organizational and design skills.
What started as volunteering quickly became home. Anna found her place at Rooms of Hope, where her creativity could directly impact the lives of children and families facing unimaginable challenges. She stepped into the role of Project Manager, in 2023, turning dream room concepts into heartfelt realities.
Today, Anna plays an integral role in bringing each dream room to life, thoughtfully designing, and coordinating spaces that reflect every child’s personality, passions, and needs. For Anna, it’s about far more than design, it’s about compassion and hope. As she puts it, “Bringing smiles to children during their toughest times is the most rewarding experience of my life.”
