With an open mind and a broad perspective, she strives to bring value from this interaction among disciplines and intentionally apply her knowledge of design thinking and human centered design to make sense of problems and solutions.
Ana is a firm believer of the power of design to influence our daily lives making the objects that surround us a source of inspiration and an opportunity to create everyday utopias. Its about giving people a chance to find pleasure and perfection in small, everyday things and bring them a feeling of pride/serenity for the lifestyles they create and make tangible in their home, one that elevates the ordinary to suit their creative and spiritual demands.

As a Designer I have always been inclined towards things that I can work with through out the process reaching a personal connection with everything I do. I believe design is about building connections.
Innato, like the name of the collection presented for this A' Design award is spanish for Innate, that is, something inherent in the essential character of something. That is what design is to me. A passion that cannot be contain, a permanent lens that allows to see life through a constantly adapting vision based on the environments you are exposed to, and different social-cultural contexts and needs.
