Ana Gómez

Bio

I was born in Huelva, Spain, more years ago than I'd like to admit, although in my heart I'll always be a madrileña, since I've lived all but one year of my life in Madrid.

When I was a kid my parents signed me up for art classes when they noticed that I drew all over my homework, and I've been drawing ever since! When I was in university I used to paint huge paintings and swore to myself that I'd never work with a computer...now I spend the better part of my days in front of one doing graphic design. The truth is I love my job. I'm a very happy woman.

Ana has a degree in Fine Arts and Graphic Design, and has worked in some of the most prestigious publicity agencies in Spain. She's currently the Art Director at MRM in Madrid.
