Ana grew up in Quito helping her abuela with her craft projects as soon as she could use scissors and a paint brush. She obtained a Bachelor in Fine Arts in Louisiana and joined the graphic design world for a few years.
She moved to the Pacific Northwest, where a temporary teaching position turned into a new career and passion. She completed a Masters in Teaching Special Education and has been learning from young neuro-divergent children ever since.
