About

Hi, I’m Ana Rivera, a Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in Austin, TX. I bring 6+ years of experience crafting visual identities, branded assets, and design systems. I’m passionate about character design, layout, and creating cohesive brand visuals across print and digital platforms. I thrive in fast-paced environments and focus on visual storytelling, typography, and design consistency.

I’m the founder of Studio Glitchcraft, a freelance design practice delivering branding, illustration, and visual content for independent clients and creative projects. I manage the full project lifecycle—from concept to final delivery—and I’m expanding into motion design and animated branding to help brands stand out.

Project Overview
For this luxury property at 15116 Sunningdale St, I handled the entire production process — from filming on location to final edit delivery.
My goal was to create a clean, high-end real estate walkthrough that feels cinematic without being distracting, allowing the home itself to remain the focal point.

I was able to get permission to showcase my character design test for Floyd County’s opening as a character designer on their hit show, Hit Monkey. I was a close runner-up for the position.
