Originally from Venezuela, Ana Karina Da Silva is an award-winning advertising Associate Creative Director based in Chicago. After 11+ years of working for 500 top Fortune brands and 30+ awards in creativity, and making her dream come true of winning a Cannes Award for her idea, Ana Karina decided to write and illustrate Emma’s Dream, a bilingual book that encourages kids to follow their dreams. Ana toured her book in Europe, México, and Chicago by reading, singing, and interacting with kids about their passions, proving that story time can be a powerful tool for their self-esteem and development.
