Hi! I'm Ani, a graphic and visual identity designer passionate about bringing bottled ideas to life through visual storytelling. My work is influenced by human expression and the voices that make up our communities. Growing up in Mercedes, Texas, surrounded by the language, traditions, and culture of a Hispanic community, I enjoy using design as a medium for human connection. I’m grateful to have studied at the School of Design and Creative Technologies at The University of Texas at Austin, where I refined my skills in graphic design, web design, typography, and print design. I’m fortunate to have partnered with nonprofits such as Keep Austin Fed and Every Body Texas, contributing to visual campaigns across digital and print spaces in support of advocacy efforts. When I’m not designing, you can find me listening to anything from King Krule to Kesha, diving into the lore of my favorite video games, or on a spontaneous road trip—all of which fuel my creativity.
