“I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares, as opposed to ugly things. That’s my intent.”  Saul Bass

I live by this quote.

My name is Ana Maria Gormaz and I was born and raised in Panama. I grew up in a family of designers; both my mother and brother are interior designers. Since I grew up in a very creative environment, I developed a strong passion for design at a very young age. I wanted to “make things beautiful.”

Besides design, dance has also been a big part of my life. I was a classical ballet dancer for most of my life and this has helped me become even more inclined to art and design. On top of that, travel and moving abroad has helped me come out of my comfort zone. I have learned about other cultures and how people create beautiful things in many different ways. As a designer, I think there is always something new to learn and unlimited possibilities to create.
