Hello, I'm Ana.
I’m enthusiastic about product design development.
Mid 2024 I returned to Brazil from New Zealand, where I had been living and working since 2019.
​
Back there, I coordinated the textile branding applications for a superyacht uniform company. This included liaising with suppliers, assisting in uniform designs, arranging sample manufacture, and ensuring on-time processing and delivery of all orders within the production and operation teams.
​
Previously, I designed retail fixtures in a shop fitting company. I developed 3D models, assemblies, and technical drawings for offshore and in-house furniture manufacturing for New Zealand companies like Farmers and Super Liquor.
​
Before that, I operated for 3 years my accessories and print small business, Koa Estampa & Design, at my home studio. I sewed backpacks, bags, and zip pouches with my hand silk screen printed pattern designs.
​
I completed a Master’s in Apparel Design and Fashion from UDESC in 2019. I graduated in Product Design from IFSC in 2015. In 2013, I studied abroad for 1 year in Australia at UNSW College of Fine Arts.
​
The Ministry of Culture of Brazil recognised one of my print designs as a semi-finalist in the top 12 of Premio Estampa Brasil 2015 (Print Brazil Awards 2015).
