Anna Paretas is a trauma-informed thinker, designer, and emotional systems architect with over 25 years of experience in visual communication, storytelling, and user-centered design.
Originally trained in motion graphics and content creation, she has worked across sectors, helping translate complex ideas into emotionally resonant and easy to understand visuals.
Before creating The Emotional Blueprint, Anna co-founded Roadroom and led its entire creative direction for six years. She built the full structure of the website, designed every page, and wrote all content in both English and German: roadroom.de. She also created all visual content from scratch—photography, graphic design, tour posters, stickers, newsletters, and videos. Every video on Roadroom’s Instagram was shot and edited by her, growing the account from 50 to 20,000 followers.
Over time, her focus shifted from commercial storytelling to building systems that could help people see their emotions more clearly, especially in moments of trauma, confusion, or emotional harm. This led to the creation of TEG-Blue: a layered framework that maps how our emotions work, how they’re distorted by survival states, and how to rebuild clarity and connection.
Anna’s approach is shaped by both professional expertise and lived experience. As a neurodivergent woman recovering from complex trauma, she brings a rare combination of precision, emotional depth, and systems thinking to everything she creates. Her work speaks to those who’ve been overlooked—offering tools that are trauma-aware, emotionally honest, and grounded in real life.
She now lives nomadically across Europe, working full-time to bring TEG-Blue into the world, with her dog Rossell always by her side.
