About
I’m Ana Karina, a multidisciplinary artist with a strong foundation in storyboard art, book illustration, and design. I thrive in collaborative environments, translating directors’ visions into clear compelling visuals. My work blends technical craft with a clear sense of storytelling, aiming to build a cohesive visual vocabulary for each project.
I studied at ArtCenter College of Design and Universidad Iberoamericana, and I’ve contributed to both live-action and animated projects across Los Angeles and Miami. I enjoy partnering with directors, writers, and art departments to shape characters, spaces, and sequences that feel authentic, polished, and on-brand for the story at hand.
