Ana María Alvarado
@anamaraalvarado
Graphic designer and visual artist based in Costa Rica, currently finishing a degree in Visual Arts and Communication with a focus on textile design.
What I'm looking for
I'm a visual artist and graphic designer from Costa Rica, currently in my final stretch of a degree in Visual Arts and Communication at Universidad Nacional, with an emphasis on textile design. Over the past few years I've built a freelance practice that spans graphic design, community management, and social media content.
I love turning ideas into visuals that actually connect with people, whether that's a brand identity, a social media campaign, or content that fits a brand's voice across platforms. I'm comfortable managing a project from concept to final delivery, and I enjoy collaborating with brands and small businesses to bring their voice to life online.
Right now I'm looking for opportunities in design, marketing, or community management where I can keep growing and take on new creative challenges.
