Ana Althoff

I’ve been working in design for over 13 years—and I still love every minute of it. My journey began in the fashion world, where I earned a BA in Fashion. But one opportunity led to another, and I found myself diving into surface design, then moving abroad to study Interactive Media Design. Since then, I’ve become passionate (maybe even obsessed!) with learning new software and creating engaging visual content. You’ll often see hints of my love for history and vintage aesthetics woven into my work. I’m a proactive, curious, and committed creative—someone who gives 100% to every project. If that’s what you’re looking for, we might just be a perfect match. :)
