In recognition of her cultural work in Taiwan, Ivanova received a scholarship from the Taiwanese government to undertake Chinese Language studies at the Mandarin Training Center of National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei.[citation needed]

In 2016, Ivanova became the first cultural representative to receive the ANZ Chamber of Commerce Business Award for "outstanding contribution to the Australia-Taiwan Relationship".[13] She is also the Regional President of Asia Designer Communication Platform, which promotes designers' work and has held events in cities within Asia.[14][15][16][17] Ivanova is the author of "Taiwan by Design: 88 products for better living."[18] The project took two and a half years to complete and a crowdfunding campaign raised NT 1,500,000.[19][20][21]

Personal life

edit

Annie Ivanova was born in Tryavna, Bulgaria. Her father was an industrial designer, and her mother was a drama teacher. During the 1989 revolution, Ivanova worked as a junior reporter, assisting Reuters photographer Oleg Popov. After witnessing the events leading to the collapse of communism in Sofia, she moved to Great Britain where she studied design at the London College of Fashion.

Ivanova moved to Australia in 1994 and identifies as an Australian of Bulgarian heritage.[22]

Since 2010, she has lived between Melbourne and Taipei. Her Chinese name, 易安妮 (Yì Ānnī), was given to her by a friend and is reportedly taken from the I-Ching "Book of Changes."[23][24][25]
