Meet Ivan

Affiliate RGD

Hello, I’m Ivan. I am a UX and visual designer who believes that the best design solutions come from real life. I face every challenge as a complex problem solver, finding inspiration in everyday experiences, stories, and the environments around us. Whether it’s navigating new cities or observing how people use technology in small moments, I view each experience as a way to understand human behavior.

To me, design is not just about looks or usability. It’s about understanding the details of how people live, think, and feel. Everything I encounter adds to a larger mental library that I use to create thoughtful, human-centered solutions. This viewpoint helps me clarify complex ideas and turn insights into intuitive, accessible, and engaging digital experiences.
