Kolm — Ana Lapa Portfolio

Ana 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 Studios, 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 Stüssy, 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. Beyond her client work, she explores footwear design as a way to connect craft, comfort, and contemporary culture.
