About The Designer
Ana Godinez’s love of art started at a young age and followed her to the University of Southern California, where she graduated with degrees in Art and English Literature. After college, Ana put down the paintbrush and became a graphic designer. Ana has contributed in projects for several mission-oriented businesses, non-profit organizations, and restaurants across Southern California.
Noteworthy projects have included: spearheading the marketing for “Fotos & Recuerdos,” a festival at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery; designing 100+ wine bottles across two award-winning wine collections for Akash Winery; and illustrating the Vámonos book series for Lil’ Libros, a bilingual travel board book series available at over 800+ big-box stores.
Today, Ana continues to lend her artistic hand to local organizations while working as the Lead Graphic Designer at Lil’ Libros and as Creative Director of Akash Winery & Vineyards.
