ABOUT ME
AHOY!
I'm Ana, a freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in the Philippines. I graduated Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with a Minor in Interactive Multimedia. I have a love for patterns, be it in the weave of textiles, the way dye matures in body art, or in how new leaves unfurl on a vining plant.
​
Most of my art is done digitally, but I am slowly rediscovering the wonders of traditional media, especially where miniature painting and ball-jointed doll customization is concerned.
​
When not delving into art shenanigans, you can find me maintaining a small indoor/balcony garden, or taking the occasional photos of plants and dolls (maybe even both!).
Fun fact: my logo is a stylized "ANA" in Baybayin, one of the native scripts of the Philippines.
"ANA GABRIELA DAVID" OR "YELA GATCHALIAN-DAVID"?
I go by those two names interchangeably in real life, but for simplicity's sake, I have decided to stick to "Ana" as my professional name. You may find that "Yela" still pops up on several of my social media accounts, though!
