AnnMarie Thomas

Bio

AnnMarie is an engineer. An artist. An educator. A maker. A writer. A lifelong learner who built her career mixing science, art, tech, and curiosity into something new — over and over again. From Squishy Circuits (play dough that lights up!) to OK Go Sandbox (music videos as STEAM playgrounds), to founding the Playful Learning Lab at the University of St. Thomas. Her work reminds us: when we make space for play, we make space for possibility.

Today, she leads Listo Idea Co, consulting on projects ranging from workshop design to ocean focused VR/AR. She’s also an enthusiastic learner in a wide range of hobbies, including trapeze and magic (and is a Magician Member of the Academy of Magical Arts).
