hi, i'm ana!

i'm a multidisciplinary designer based in Stanford, CA

Currently diving into the Learning Design and Technology masters program at Stanford Graduate School of Education.
Most recently, I’ve been a design lead at Por A Mais B, an education startup that empowers educators, educational managers, and policymakers with data-driven insights. 
I've also designed experiences and tools in collaboration with teachers and students from private and public schools to foster creativity by making learning fun.
I approach every work experience as an opportunity to learn and design better learning experiences that positively impact children's lives.
In my spare time, I like to read fiction and engage in book clubs, sew and illustrate.
