Inspired By:

I find inspiration to design in different ways, from social media and art (photography, fashion) to visiting different inspiring places, touching materials, to light, movement, and the way people experience space. Even everyday moments, textures, color combinations, or unexpected details can spark an idea. Drawing from diverse disciplines allows me to design spaces that feel thoughtful, layered, and emotionally engaging

What makes architecture and design in Tampa Bay unique or interesting:

Architecture and design in Orlando are shaped by a rich mix of cultures, this diversity pushes designers to be adaptable and innovative, creating a dynamic and evolving design landscape. The city balances rapid growth, blending hospitality, entertainment, healthcare, and residential design in unique ways.

Keys to a Successful Project:
A successful project is built on clear communication, defined goals, strong collaboration, and thoughtful coordination. Aligning design intent with client needs, budget, and schedule while remaining flexible and responsive to challenges is essential.

“Ana is an exceptional collaborator who consistently brings both creativity and strong technical expertise to her work. She is a dedicated team player who proactively seeks opportunities to enhance our design processes and is always willing to support colleagues who need assistance.”​

Wyn Chair
Favorite Haworth Collection Piece:
Wyn Lounge Chair
What Is Special About It:

 This chair (and others from the line as the Eternity chair), is my favorite because it seamlessly blends lounge level comfort with functionality without looking bulky or overdesigned. What really sets it apart is its adaptability: the tablet arm, cupholder, and mobility are thoughtfully integrated rather than added on. Beautifully designed.
