Vibrant illustration of a stylised female face surrounded by red palm fronds, pink dots and white dashes against a black background with blue accents

After studying illustration at Falmouth University and graduating in 2015, the Isle of Man-born artist pursued a career in design full time. "I absolutely adore anything with bright, bold colours and patterns – I'm also a huge lover of shapes. A lot of my inspiration comes from people in general and fashion.

"I love people watching, seeing what they're wearing, how garments move on their bodies, the shapes of their bodies - ALL OF IT - the female form being my favourite to draw."

Ana's clients include the likes of FT Magazine, VICE, The Telegraph and Le Trident Cherbourg, which favour her bold, creative style. Discover more at anajaks.co.uk. She's also got a pretty awesome Instagram account.
