Hi, i’m Ivan, a designer and occasional engineer with nearly a decade of experience building software.

I care about merging delight with function and shipping products and prototypes that make people feel something.

Right now I’m a design lead at Nory, building vertical SaaS for restaurants, and on weekends I’m helping the team at Daytona build sandboxes for agents.

Previously, I was a design lead at IDEO in San Francisco, where I led multidisciplinary teams and clients to prototype different futures – from major mobile operating systems and streaming platforms to healthcare.

I’ve built design systems, accessible interfaces, and novel product features end to end – from user interviews to shipping – for multiple YC and SPC startups.

I’m a purpose–driven designer who thrives in collaborative, high–ownership environments if you’re building something ambitious, let’s chat.
