Ana Criado, Designer
“I was born in Spain, near the Mediterranean, in a small town called Buñol. I am a graphic designer. Late in my life, I discovered motion graphic design and fell in love forever. “
This conversation with the Emmy nominated and internationally acclaimed creative director & designer Ana Criado was recorded over lunch in her garden in LA. Ana is as generous with her stories as she was with her paella. The tale of how she wound up being hired to create motion graphics for one of the best studios in the world without knowing anything about motion graphics is brilliant.
We also discuss impostor syndrome; how the creative life can get harder the better you get; cooking as a metaphor for creativity and how the time is ripe for a paradigm shift in titles.
Up above are some stills from a few of Ana’s projects. You can check out her brilliant work in more detail here. And below are some of the title sequences we talk about in our conversation.
