[HI I’M]
IVAN WARREN
I am a multi-disciplinary designer passionate about UX research and user-centered design. Hence, user empathy and communication drive my design mindset; I focus on culminating together all the details that users need to create the most desired and helpful outcome. Combining thorough design research with high-quality product design, I am proficient in delivering beautiful, useful, and compelling designs.
I am passionate about helping others and listening to the user's voice. I have done many projects related to accessibility and sustainability. I am currently studying for CPACC Certification, and as part of my internship with the Art120 nonprofit organization, I have taught underserved middle school students design skills and processes.
I have always been a creative person, I started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil. My passion for artistry has shaped who I am and my hobbies; I frequently experiment with cooking, participate in dance teams, and do art in my free time.
