Anna Collins approaches her work as an artist who values precision and detail. Every action is intentional, from the capitalization of a letter to the placement of a period. Through this attentiveness, she communicates complex information with clarity and care. She finds satisfaction in transforming chaos and solving the puzzle, bringing elaborate artistic visions into the realm of shared understanding.

Her creative working philosophy centers around the power information holds. She heavily follows the "hit by a bus theory" in her approach to Stage Management, which centers around organizing information in a way that ensures yourself and others who step into the process are set up for success. For Anna, detailed documentation is not just a tool for efficiency but a form of empowerment. When information is crafted with care and precision, it builds trust within a team and guides each person toward the same goal. She finds this especially true when creating paperwork for crew members, using it to empower them to make informed decisions, ask questions, and identify additional needs. Thus, she writes down, organizes, and passes along the details she gathers to ensure communication remains open, consistent, and accessible to all.

Therefore, when approaching the design elements in Stage Management, Anna focuses on ensuring even the smallest detail gets noted. She views her paperwork as a form of storytelling and interprets information through a narrative lens. When looking at a detail, she views it in an arc from the start to finish, considering how the element fits within a broader context and anticipating potential questions or needs. This approach is then reflected in her design process and creative philosophy, as her paperwork is meticulous attention to detail and thoughtfully communicated in order to transform the story and chaos of production into a shared, empowered vision.
