About

Hola, Hi, Kia ora! I’m Ana-Yamila

Born amidst the vast landscapes of San Luis, Argentina, and now rooted in Aotearoa, New Zealand, I'm a graphic designer, illustrator, and multidisciplinary creator.

My journey has been about blending the worlds of graphic design, illustration, and object design. I have a deep connection between digital and analog practices, often merging AI explorations with handcrafted objects and animations. Collaboration is at the heart of my process, whether it's working with international artisans or experimenting with AI-driven design tools.

I believe in the power of stories—the magic that unfolds when we reimagine the ordinary through humor, creativity, and a touch of the surreal. My creations are invitations to explore new perspectives and engage in meaningful conversations.

Creative Process & Philosophy:

Every project starts with a story. Whether it's a ceramic piece or a visual identity for a brand, the process begins with concept development, where I sketch out ideas rooted in both functionality and beauty. From there, I collaborate with skilled artisans and craftspeople who translate my digital designs into physical form. This partnership allows for a constant flow of ideas, resulting in works that are a fusion of my design vision and their craftsmanship.

I love the idea of objects being more than just items—they carry narratives, meaning, and function. My goal is to create pieces that inspire connection, spark curiosity, and bring value to everyday life. I see my work as a fusion of art and design, a space where digital meets the tangible.

If you'd like to collaborate or explore new ideas, let's chat. I'm always open to creating something new together.
