Hi, I'm Ivan.

I'm a web and print designer.

About me

Story

I've worked as a graphic designer in a few different industries before deciding to travel and teach English in Japan. There I used the same creative problem solving skills to help students. After that moved to Tokyo and got back into design while learning some web development along the way.

How I think

Everywhere I go, I always bring my perspective as a designer and love collaborating with others to learn and create better things. Design thinking comes up time and time again, be it in teaching, marketing or development. It’s all about interacting with people and how we can reach a specific goal.

Interest

I enjoy the outdoors and photography, but after working closely with developers, I've recently spent my down time learning programming because I want to bring my ideas to life!
