Today, we have a truly fascinating guest who embodies the intersection of art, technology, and innovation. I'm thrilled to introduce Anna Shaposhnik, a creative technologist who's on a mission to revolutionize storytelling in space. Anna is the CEO of Orbital Entertainment Supply, a company developing free-flying robots to capture breathtaking footage in zero gravity. Imagine being able to remotely fly around space stations \u2013 that's the kind of groundbreaking technology Anna and her team are working on. A recent graduate of USC's prestigious Iovine &amp;amp; Young Academy, Anna holds a B.S. in Arts, Technology, and the Business of Innovation, with a specialization in Connected Devices and Making. But her expertise doesn't stop there \u2013 she's also ventured into astronautical engineering, bringing a unique interdisciplinary perspective to her work. Anna's journey in the space industry is impressive. She's worked as a Marketing Manager for Orbit Fab, a startup building &quot;Gas Stations In Space,&quot; and contributed her skills as a graphic designer and machinist to USC's Rocket Propulsion Laboratory \u2013 the first student-run lab to successfully send a rocket to space. What sets Anna apart is her belief in abandoning the siloed engineer stereotype and embracing aesthetics in all aspects of technology. She's a strong advocate for blending art and engineering, aiming to bring creativity and delight to the space industry.
