Anna-Lisa Thomson received her education at the Technical School in Stockholm from 1924 to 1928. In the mid 1930s she came to Upsala-Ekeby and was part of changing the company's ceramic direction. Thomson's ornamental goods and crockery received several international awards, including Paris in 1937 and New York in 1939.

Anna-Lisa Thomson was also a talented painter and her work was naive, nature-inspired and colorful. She suffered from cancer and died at 46 years of age. The Swedish book of poetry "Eko av dagens ljusa klang" includes Anna-Lisa Thomson illustrations and was published posthumously in 1953.
