RESUME

Hi! My name is Ana Ponce.

I’m currently a contract designer who views graphic design as solution-based creativity. I’ve enjoyed being involved in the Dallas creative community and have had the pleasure to lead or participate in local projects. Feel free to explore my website and watch my work reel to see the type of work I do - I’m always eager to create a nifty motion graphic!
