Ana Blooms was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. She's an illustrator and print designer. Her work focuses on surface design through illustration, characterized by floral-centric motifs. Over the course of her career, she has collaborated with big-name brands like Pixar, Edding, and Jansport.
Adding a touch of color and joy to commonplace objects with illustration is what motivated her to create her own brand, Ana Blooms Design House, where she decorates everything from jackets to aprons with her pattern designs.
