BMD Mixtape: Valentine's edition

Ana Lapa is a Portuguese designer with a global perspective, currently based in Los Angeles. Her career has taken her from London to New York City, Toronto, and now LA, where she’s part of the team at Perron-Roettinger, a studio known for its work at the intersection of art, music, and culture.

Ana’s multidisciplinary background and multicultural experiences have shaped a distinct, adaptable design sensibility — one that’s thoughtful, forward-thinking, and always chasing what’s next. She’s worked with clients like Messenger, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, Nike, Universal Music Group, Google Cloud, and more, across brand, spatial, and cultural projects. Most recently, she’s been involved in projects for Beyoncé, OTW by Vans, and The Frankie Shop.

She’s passionate about creating meaningful, visually compelling work that connects with people — whether through brand identities, immersive spaces, or cultural moments.
