Hola!

I am Ana, a multidisciplinary designer and creative problem solver passionate about the intersection between society, technology, and design. With a background from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design and as a Fulbright Grantee, my work leverages different design disciplines, frameworks, and technologies to design for complex systems. I’ve designed systems that range from democratizing health access through menstrual diagnostics to unassuming grocery carts that react to the carbon footprint of your products.

What does my work look like?

  • Empowering

    Product Design

    I believe design is world-making. How might we synthesize values, beliefs, and actions into objects to help the world become a better place?

  • Systemic

    Multidisciplinary Projects

    I leverage the language of different disciplines to define, isolate, and address problems through the transformative possibilities of art, design, and engineering practices.

  • Nonconforming

    Graphic and Data Viz Projects

    My projects tend to address pressing social, economic, political, and environmental issues by creating stories and humanizing data.

  • Restless

    Design Research

    We are constantly reinventing. Find research papers and written thoughts about the kind of questions that keep me up at night.
