Hi, I’m Ana!
Someone who loves making sense of complex problems and shaping them into intuitive, human-centered solutions.
I studied Manufacturing & Design Engineering at Northwestern University, where I explored the intersection of product design, mechanical engineering, and industrial engineering. That interdisciplinary foundation informs how I approach challenges — blending systems-level thinking with creativity and attention to detail.
I'm especially energized by ambiguity, collaboration, and the process of translating real user needs into meaningful, scalable solutions. Outside of work, I’m drawn to anything built with intention — from great live music and thoughtful films to a beautifully designed space or a perfectly crafted plan.
I’m always happy to connect — whether you want to talk design, share an idea, or just say hi. Please feel free to reach out!

Favorite Product
The cleanliness of Apple’s products represent a manufacturing system that I appreciate and look up to, and the AirPods Pro combine my love for music with this, allowing me to close my eyes and immerse myself into my favorite songs.

Favorite Design
Lauren Martin is a playful graphic designer I have been following for years. Her art often focuses on the Earth and food; I love seeing her pieces that advocate for environmental sustainability. One of my favorite things to do on my free time is exploring restaurants, so her pieces on food are so fun to see as well!

Favorite Art
Gregory Thielker’s hyper-realistic oil paintings always captivate me with the illusion of staring at a photo. ‘McGrath Highway’ in particular is a meticulous piece that makes me feel comfortable and at peace every time I see it.
