Speakers

Anja Humljan is Brand & Communications Lead at Telprom, an IT company in Slovenia, and the founder of two internationally developed brands, Return to Senses and The Urban Yoga. Working across brand strategy, communications, architecture and sensory experience, she explores how the senses shape the way people experience space, technology and human connection — and how complex ideas can be translated into experiences people understand, trust and remember.

Over the past decade, Anja has built and led Return to Senses and The Urban Yoga across Europe, the US and Asia. Return to Senses brings sensory intelligence into the design and communication of environments, brands and experiences, while The Urban Yoga grew from a fine-art photography project and book into a global design movement exploring the relationship between the body, architecture and public space. Through these brands, she has organised and promoted 30+ international events, collaborated across architecture, design, wellbeing, media and technology, sold her photography and book in 20+ countries, and had her work featured in 150+ media outlets across 50+ countries.

A former Academic Fellow at the National University of Singapore School of Medicine, Anja was a keynote speaker at the 2025 National Convention of Interior Designers in India, opening the event for 1,500+ attendees. She also represented Singapore-based AI startup AI at AI Expo Shanghai in 2025. At PIFA 2026, she brings this sensory and human-centred perspective to the intersection of technology, spatial design, light, sound and interaction — exploring how integrated environments can create experiences that are emotionally meaningful, memorable and commercially valuable.
