About Ana Maria Gonzalez Londono : Ana Maria Gonzalez is an eclectic designer. Weaving past learnings from a diverse background and experience with everyday renewed awareness. She completed her design studies at Universidad de Los Andes in Colombia, with focused on strategy, innovation and product design. Currently she is a MSc. candidate at Politecnico di Milano in Integrated Product Design. Ana has developed my career in diverse professional fields ranging from the furniture industry in Colombia, to the entrepreneurship ecosystem in NYC, and the advertising world while working for Cheil Colombia, and most recently she immersed into yet another field: strategic and innovation consulting. With an open mind and a broad perspective, she strives to bring value from this interaction among disciplines and intentionally apply her knowledge of design thinking and human centered design to make sense of problems and solutions. Ana is a firm believer of the power of design to influence our daily lives making the objects that surround us a source of inspiration and an opportunity to create everyday utopias. Its about giving people a chance to find pleasure and perfection in small, everyday things and bring them a feeling of pride/serenity for the lifestyles they create and make tangible in their home, one that elevates the ordinary to suit their creative and spiritual demands.
