▼ Background

Prior to joining Jones Knowles Ritchie in 2019, he led the Graphics and Digital Team at secretive post-disciplinary creative agency Forpeople.

Before that he held positions at Interbrand, Saffron Brand Consultants, Start JG, OPX Studio, in-house at Nokia Design, and in Spain with Ombretta Corsini, amongst others.

Mildly obsessed with typography, Iván is a big advocate of its role as a powerful brand asset. Check out on Instagram #alltypenoface, his archive of visual vernacular and fine fontsmithing.

Above all, Iván enjoys working for —and with— interesting, diverse people; learning something new every day; being part of a thriving studio, and inspiring talented people to do the best work of their careers.

* Iván doesn’t normally speak about himself in the third person. He read somewhere that it works best for ‘About’ sections of websites.
