You can see detailed information
on cv and skills below.

I am a UI/UX/Graphic designer and researcher living in Vienna.

My name is Ivonne. I hold a bachelor in Fine Arts (Castilla-La Mancha Univ.), and two Masters in UX & Web Design (Valencia Univ. + EsDesign) and Art & Science (die Angewandte Vienna).

Currently I collaborate with checkpointmedia.com, hold a Project Assistant position in radical⇌matter PEEK research project and I am part of CartBrothers GmbH and the project wood-e.
‍
I also co-authored an essay titled"Book Designing in the Age of the Loam", published by De Gruyter in Data Loam. Sometimes Hard, Usually Soft. The Future of Knowledge Systems.

I’m a designer with experience across digital products, book design, and visual systems for cultural and research projects. My work often blends design, art, and technology, whether it’s crafting user-friendly interfaces, building visual identities, or experimenting with print and AR content. I work alone in small or medium size projects, but I specially enjoy collaborating with teams, helping projects run from concept to delivery, particularly when bridging the gap between design and development teams.

* Heads up:
I made this site to mess around, try out ideas, and sneak in a few easter eggs. It’s not meant to be the gold standard of UX—more like a place to try things I can’t usually do on client projects. As a UX designer, I figured I should say this before someone starts judging my life choices.

Drop me an email!
We will discuss your project needs and what I could help you with

As a designer, I know from past experiences that reaching out can feel daunting, especially if you’re unsure of what you need. My role is to walk you through the possibilities we can choose from, and help shape your ideas into a clear vision. You don't need to know to detail what you need, just have an idea of what you want.

Feedback

I’m not into perfectly worded testimonials. Here’s feedback straight from emails and messages—typos, emojis and all. Some are for the teams I’ve been part of; credit where credit’s due. Teamwork makes the dream work, and nothing says authentic like a screenshot with wonky formatting.
