Hi, my name is
Ana Ceci
I am a multi-passionate and curious woman, proudly born and raised in Mexico. I've had the opportunity to visit, study, and live in multiple countries. Now I am in New York, and I'll probably be someplace else in the future.
I had an upbringing where art, engineering, dance, music, and entrepreneurship coexisted, where I was taught to approach things with curiosity and wonder, to question and to learn, to fall and to stand back up, but also to dance and enjoy, to appreciate beauty and the good moments.
My personal education, both through school and through my upbringing, has also shaped the way I see the world. Starting in a Montessori environment and later experiencing more traditional and multicultural approaches to education exposed me to different ways of learning and thinking. Studying in different countries and learning through different languages added another layer to that experience. Beyond school, I was also shaped by the values I grew up with and the things I learned through my family and everyday life. All of these experiences taught me to question what I learned and what I observed, to test things for myself, and to conclude that there is rarely only one way of doing something.
Academically, I studied engineering, but my professional path eventually led me into design and consulting, while still carrying an engineering perspective and mindset into my work. I have always been drawn to different approaches to thinking: where logic meets creativity, where different perspectives come together, and where something can be questioned, rethought, and built differently.
I am in search of meaning, learning, and building with others, and for others. I try to remind myself every day to realign, to be present in the present. It is something I will probably keep working on, getting distracted from, and finding my way back to.
For now, I am here. Curious, experimenting, creating, learning, and trying to make the most of being alive.
