Hi, I'm Ana.
Im from Mexico, but I currently live in Vancouver.
I moved around when I was younger, and I often landed in places where I didn’t know the language. And even though I could not understand what people were saying, I could understand the signage, icons, posters. Visual elements became my way of understanding the world around me. That created a keen interest in non-verbal ways of communicating and how different one's culture, upbringing, as well as language, will influence the way we understand the world. That’s where my love for design started; I was fascinated by how typography, photography, icons, layouts, technology, etc., played a part in communicating either the personality of a brand, the genre of a movie poster, etc. The more I deepened my knowledge of design principles, the more fascinated I became by how intentional design can be; it is not just about making something pretty.
