Design is personal. So here’s the personal side:

My name is Anais Olivar, I’m a product designer based in Mexico City.

With a background in Animation and Digital Art, I bring storytelling, systems thinking, and visual craftsmanship into every project. Currently, I design internal tools that empower people to work smarter, faster, and with more confidence.

  • I shine when I add motion and depth to designs, creating experiences that truly engage and inspire.
  • I design with empathy, connecting to users' experiences as they live them, to create solutions that truly resonate.

  • I love spending too much time reading about dragons and calculating my ideal intake of protein.
