Hi, I'm Ana. I'm a Graphic Designer based in Philadelphia, where I recently graduated from the University of the Arts.

I am a first generation Mexican American, and before Philly I lived in South Korea, Mexico and Michigan.

Being a creative individual but coming from a family of engineers and business minded individuals, a design career felt like a natural choice for me. I'm passionate about the power of design and innovation in driving social progress and I have been involved with internships that focus on social causes.



Last year I was featured in GDUSA Students to Watch.
