Anna Armann studied communication design at the Munich University of Applied Sciences before working as a graphic designer in Berlin. She subsequently pursued studies at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg (HFBK), where she was part of the stage design class led by Professor Raimund Bauer. Since 2021, she has worked as a freelance set designer, creating stage environments for institutions including Kampnagel, Junges Schauspielhaus Hamburg, Volksbühne Berlin, Bühnen Bern, and Münchner Volkstheater. In 2022, she was nominated as "Best Emerging Artist" in the critics' poll conducted by the magazine Theater Heute for her set designs for Hitze at Junges Schauspielhaus Hamburg and Kaspar at Bühnen Bern. In 2023, she received another nomination for "Best Emerging Artist"—this time alongside Mathias Spaan—for their work on 8 1/2 Millionen at Münchner Volkstheater; this production was also invited to the 2024 Radikal Jung festival. The production of Romeo and Juliet (directed by Mathias Spaan) at Junges Schauspielhaus Hamburg was awarded the Berganus Prize in 2023. In 2025, she was once again nominated as "Best Emerging Artist" by Theater Heute for her set design for Der zerbrochne Krug (The Broken Jug).
