Hi, I’m Ana Whelley, a Brooklyn-based graphic designer specializing in brand identity, print, and environmental graphics. I work with studios, museums, and publications to bring bold ideas to life across digital and physical spaces. I love collaborating with editors and curators to shape visual systems that tell a story, from concept through production. Outside work, I’m inspired by museums, signage design, and the power of thoughtful typography to guide how people experience space and information.
