About Me

My name is Ana.

Specializing in many forms of visual creation, my expertise lies in traditional ink illustration with hints of surrealism, as well as design born from deep subject understanding and experimentation that helps brands stand out.

My specializations are:

  • Animal illustration for editorial layouts, playing cards, and commercial usage

  • Fantasy illustration for editorial layouts and commercial usage

  • Contemporary layout design for books and magazines

  • Grunge poster design

  • Experimental art

My Story

A running joke in my family is that I could draw before I could speak. It’s safe to say I’ve been captivated by the visual world for as long as I can remember. Wherever there was paper, I was there too - drawing, imagining dragons, ancient kingdoms, and the most bizarre characters.

As I grew up, I took drawing lessons that taught me technical skills and color theory, and later graduated from an art school with a focus on graphic design. Rooted in the principles of minimalism and functional design, this period shaped the foundation of my creative journey. It was also when I began freelancing - taking my first steps into the professional world.

My college years were marked by exploration and experimentation. Through various projects, I pushed the boundaries of style and technique, working with different materials, software, and ideas. This creative growth eventually led to an internship at a Prague-based graphic design studio, where I gained hands-on experience with larger projects and team collaboration.

Even as I learned from others, I continued to build my own client base. Today, I have a solid portfolio that reflects my skills, knowledge, and above all—my passion. The road hasn’t always been smooth, but every challenge has reminded me of one thing:

I'm here to create.
