it’s me

Welcome to my portfolio—or rather, my creative corner of the internet (because a storefront in Brooklyn is too pricey). Here, I get to showcase the work I do and love.

If you're here just to peek at my CV, visual merchandising projects, or graphic content, feel free to skip ahead [here]. But if you're not in a rush, I invite you to keep reading.

Curious about my “Big Three”? I’m an Aquarius sun, Gemini moon, and Capricorn rising. I might shy away from labels, but I embody the astrological stereotypes: progressive, independent, communicative, hardworking, and thoughtful.

I'm thrilled to be starting my MPS in Fashion Management at Parsons this fall, where I aim to explore design solutions that foster inclusivity and sustainability in luxury retail spaces for both consumers and employees.

Will my efforts stand the test of time? Having lived and worked across multiple continents, I understand better than most that change is the only constant, and fashion continually echoes this sentiment. As a visual merchandiser in NYC, I strive not only to enhance a brand’s aesthetic and voice but also to keep timeliness at the forefront of my work.

My friends might label me an empath—and they're not wrong—but my true strength lies in my capacity to observe and analyze before acting. This trait not only makes me a responsive leader but most of all allows me to adapt. Influenced by the beauty of New York, I can’t help but blend this city’s cool, vibrant, and eclectic taste to what I do.

Yet, it’s Shanghai, the Pearl of the Orient, that truly holds my heart. Having spent a significant part of my life there, it has shaped my creativity, curiosity, resilience, and a deep sense of nostalgia. There’s a romantic softness in my approach—a way of capturing and cherishing moments in time and space.

For me, time and space are about reliving memories, appreciating the present, and anticipating the future. Whether through visual merchandising, graphic design, or simply the way I dress, this ethos permeates the stories I tell.

If you've read this far, thank you!

For a quick recap know this: I tell stories through visual merchandising and would love to help share yours.

With love,

Ana Cedillo
