Meet Ana Cunningham

MANAGING PARTNER

Ana joined Creative Matters as a designer in 1999, enjoyed many years as Creative Director and became a Vice President and partner in 2017. She balances a combination of highly evolved technical expertise with insightful planning, creative designs and organized leadership. Ana manages a team of versatile professionals who contribute diverse skills, languages and cultural fluencies to each project they touch.

 With an extensive and international portfolio, Ana is no stranger to collaborating across multiple time zones, countries and cultures. She has designed for residences, boutiques, restaurants, hotels and retail spaces for prominent brands and commercial clients worldwide.

Clients respect her as a trusted advisor. As a result, Ana has had the good fortune to work with repeat clients on multiple projects. Ana speaks at trade shows in Canada, the U.S. Europe and Asia. She has travelled to Nepal, India, Thailand and the U.S. to work directly with our mill partners. She is proud to work with Label STEP – our fair trade partner – to ensure the best working conditions for the artisans who weave our handknotted rugs.

 Ana has built her expertise over the last 21 years on the philosophy of creating designs that are not only beautiful but have a deep understanding of the interior designer’s vision for the overall space.

 Her recent business passion is working with clients on hospitality projects that include both floor and wallcoverings. These capture many of the creative elements she loves along with an intense level of project management.

 Ana is a graduate of the Textile Studio at Sheridan College in Canada.
