Hello! I’m Ana Rivas, a brand and web designer who’s spent years turning ideas into eye-catching, user-friendly digital experiences (and gently reminding people that “make it pop” is not a design strategy).
I specialize in crafting thoughtful, innovative solutions that connect brands with their audiences through emotion, storytelling, and seamless user experiences. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with marketing teams, developers, and clients—from scrappy startups to well-established brands—collaborating to solve complex design challenges and bring creative visions to life.
I’m a quick learner who picks up new tools, technologies, and trends faster than you can say “Wait, there’s a new Figma update?” Whether it’s mastering a new design system or diving into a fresh project, I love the thrill of learning and applying it in real time.
When I’m not designing, you’ll find me dominating Monopoly, singing karaoke, tackling DIY projects, and learning everything I can—including new languages (both human and programming, to some degree).
