About

Hey hey!

I'm Ana Costa, Product Designer based in Paris.

My journey started in 2010 as a Graphic Designer right after finishing university.
I entered the advertising world soon after and worked as an Art Director for the next 10 years. During this time I was fortunate to produce campaigns for amazing international companies like Garnier, Renault, Dacia, L'Oreal Professionnel, Pingo Doce, Nissan Europe, AXA, and Nescafé in all sorts of different fields, such as ATL, BTL, digital solutions, CRM (Customer Relationship Management), and guerrilla marketing.

Having had that experience as given me the basis to work as a Product Designer and continue to help companies and brands face and solve new challenges that appear in the process of creating more accessible and intuitive products.

Today I've had the opportunity to work with multiple products from diverse sectors as insurances, transportation, e-commerce and payment portals, for both B2B and B2C users.
