Ana Karina Da Silva is an award-winning Portuguese-Venezuelan advertising copywriter, stand-up comedian, and founder of Emma’s Dream, a curriculum that helps kids identify their natural talents through humor, creativity, and emotional awareness.

With 16 years of experience, she has worked with brands such as Disney, Kraft, Nissan, INFINITI, U.S. Army, Kool-Aid, and Big Brothers Big Sisters, earning over 30 international creativity awards. She co-created the viral "Tequila Cloud" campaign for Mexico Tourism, which earned a Cannes Lion and became one of the most talked-about campaigns globally.

After publishing her bilingual children’s book Emma’s Dream and touring across six countries, she collaborated with neurodivergent psychologists to create the Emma’s Dream Curriculum, helping students shine while guiding parents to support their children without projecting their own inner child patterns.

Now based in New York City, Ana Karina helps her clients with advertising, branding, social media, and viral content while also performing comedy and developing creative experiences for kids and families.
