About Me

Hi there! I’m Ana — a UX Researcher & Designer based in the Bay Area, CA.
I am excited about transforming complex challenges into clear, thoughtful, and user-friendly solutions.

 

Over the past decade, my design journey has taken me from working as a newspaper layout designer to earning a BA in Design from UC Davis and an MS in Human-Computer Interaction from DePaul University. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with teams on product design, UX research, and marketing projects that aim to make people’s lives just a little bit easier.

 

I believe great design starts with understanding real people. Whether I’m conducting user interviews, running usability tests, building wireframes, or refining prototypes, I focus on empathy, curiosity, and continuous iteration.

 

Outside of design, you can find me trying new restaurants, experimenting in the kitchen, or getting lost in a good book. I’m always looking for new opportunities to learn, grow, and design experiences that make an impact, so reach out if you'd like to work together!
