How I work

Find what others miss

I ask the questions no one thought to ask, spot patterns others overlook, and surface insights that reframe how a problem is understood.

Raise the visual bar

Great visual design isn’t decoration, it’s what makes complexity disappear. I craft interfaces that are as considered as they are functional.

Move organisations forward

I align stakeholders, earn trust quickly, and make cross-functional work actually work.

Make complexity legible

I turn messy, complex problems into clear thinking, so teams know what they’re solving and why.

Ana has a rare ability to translate complex research findings into clear, compelling visualizations, using tools like Miro for sense-making and Figma for execution. The resulting designs were not only visually strong, but also thoughtful, consistent, and perfectly aligned with the product’s functional and business goals.
Peter Seitz Agile Coach
As my line manager, I really felt that Ana cared for my well-being at work. She would regularly check in on me, just to see how my week was going or check that something I was worried about had gone well. She always made our 1:1s feel like a safe space and I could really feel that she had my back when issues arose.
Susie Purvis Senior UX Designer
Ana is a leader who makes sure services, complex systems, applications, and all teams involved are actually considered and aligned. She’s the person who sees the gaps others miss and knows how to address them without creating chaos. She’s an ally and expert in everything from mentoring to research, identifying business and service holes, and delivering solutions that stick.
