Author: Ann-Elize de Ridder

From the cozy chaos of her creative cave, meet Ann-Elize — a lesson writer with a love for meaning, mayhem, and just the right amount of academic sparkle.

Whether she’s dreaming up ideas in the wild or wrangling them into shape at her desk (with coffee, obviously), Ann-Elize writes lessons that explore the big beautiful mess of being human. Her style? A little academic, a little playful, and always rooted in the desire to make learners feel inspired, seen, and like they totally belong.

She’s not here for number crunching (ew), but give her a theme with heart, a challenge with depth, or a story with soul, and she’s all in.

Her lessons are easy to use, secretly delightful, and packed with personality. Basically, they’re the teaching equivalent of your favorite geeky blanket—cozy, clever, and comforting.

Fun facts? She’s obsessed with comic books, high fantasy, sci-fi, and K-dramas, and believes firmly in outdoor adventures with snacks and creature comforts. Her life motto? You’re never too old for joy, play, or that one weird hobby that lights you up.
