In 2016, she announced Dollar Street, a website that imagines a street of homes to help visualize how people of varying cultures and incomes live around the world.[4]
In 2017, she spoke at the TED conference where she explained the power of Data visualization.[5]
In 2017, she collaborated with Hans Rosling for his book titled Factfulness alongside Ola Rosling.[6]
She sees many benefits of working on different projects with family.[7] In an interview with W Insight portal, she talks about flexibility, convenience and being more open working with her husband.[7] She also admits her children "came up on stage a few times."[7]
On the fifth of November 2018, Anna and Ola Rosling were promoted to honorary doctorates at the University of Skövde in connection with the school's academic celebrations.[8]
