They say her work is risky, enthusiastic and beautiful.
Anna's childhood dreams of designing clothes, inspired by films such as Barbie and The Nutcracker, have matured into masterful creations.
She designed the costumes for this year's Stage Challenge and entered a design into Rotorua Wearable Creationz with four friends, placing second in the youth category.
She has also designed a ballgown which has reached the finals of a national competition.
When she finishes high school, Anna wants to study in Australia to become a costumier for stage and theatre productions.
Anna is a member of the inaugural RGHS Honour Society after a great academic year in NCEA Level 1.
