Ánima
Pablo Iturralde is one of the leading figures in Ecuadorian graphic design. Director of Ánima studio since 1996, his career combines professional practice, teaching, and a deep reflection on the role of design as a social and cultural tool. He has been recognized in international biennials and has developed high-impact projects, ranging from identity systems to public space interventions such as the signage of Quito’s Historic Center.
At Things & Brings, we collaborated with Pablo to bring our vision of Ecuador to life. His contribution to the development of our first collection, “Valdivia,” allowed us to reinterpret the ancestral through a contemporary language that connects culture, design, and everyday use.
