Juani Bengali is the creative project of Ana García López, a Spanish illustrator, designer, and architect based in Paris. Her practice spans illustration, product design, surface pattern, murals, and editorial work. From March 2023 to December 2025, she worked full-time as Product Designer, Illustrator, and Stand Designer for DOIY Design and Eat My Socks (part of The Wow Effect Company), producing documented seasonal product lines across socks, hair accessories, scarves, and beach goods. Additional collaborations include Skinnydip London, The Barcelonian, Mind the Fluff, Ciccia Socks, The Hands, Sal de tu rollo, and Mondo Lirondo. Press coverage spans Brillo Magazine (2022), BITS Magazine (2025), and Speelbound Magazine (Winter 2025).
The portfolio features bold, graphic illustration with strong character expression and vibrant colour. Juani's visual signature features chunky shapes, expressive line work, and an irreverent, joyful register. The aesthetic sits between character illustration and surface pattern, with strong commercial legibility across gifting, stationery, and accessories markets.
Juani's practice spans illustration, product design, stand design, mural painting (glass and exterior), and children's book development. Her architectural training (Allies and Morrison London; DBLO Associates London; ATELIER 8000 Prague) informs compositional confidence and spatial awareness.
