About me


Hey again

I'm currently at Andela, where I get to work on improving the experience of the platform's internal tool.

A little bit about me
Hey, my name is Iván! I’m a Product Designer based in Barcelona.
I'm an always-improving human being & designer who loves creating end-to-end experiences and making data-driven design decisions.
I aim to improve communication between designers and engineers to refine workflows and achieve better results. I have a graphic design major and a front-end developer background.
When I'm not designing, I love to explore the outdoors and stay active. Jiujitsu and hiking are two of my favorite activities, and I'm always looking to challenge myself and go into adventure.
I live with my wife and our dog Mole (Guacamole), we are digital nomads and love to travel and meet new places.
