Ivan Jovanić — founding product designer for early-stage startups, available freelance and remote

Ivan has been our only designer right from the early days when Yugabyte was a stealth mode startup with barely any online presence, to today where we have numerous online properties and products. He has been the owner of all the aspects related to design, right from branding to the user experience in the product. It has been a pleasure working with Ivan. He is very dependable, can pull it through in tight situations and is a clear communicator, which made him very effective (more so given he was working remotely). Overall, it has been a real pleasure working with Ivan.

I had the opportunity to work with Ivan on several projects, and I was happy with our collaboration, particularly on web and print design. Ivan was very creative and timely, and he showed a lot of pride in his work. I would recommend considering him for any design project.

Ivan has been doing a range of design work for Dome9 Security over the past few years and we consider him one of the team. He is highly responsive, needs very little direction and does wonderful work. Ivan has created pieces for us that include datasheets, brochures, white papers, booth graphics, invitations, newsletters, banners, digital advertisement, and the list goes on and on. Ivan is very good at what he does and I highly recommend him.

A stress-resistant person, responsible, and a superb team player. Ivan is the definition of a multi-skilled design Swiss knife, and his deep understanding of design processes made him an integral part of the team, far exceeding his role. On the other hand, he is an extremely cheerful person with a unique sense of humor. Any team would be very lucky to have him at their helm.

Ivan is a tech-savvy designer who delivers innovative designs across a multitude of formats including web, print, trade show and apparel. He was instrumental in helping launch Yugabyte's website and initial brand design...best of all, super responsive, intuitive and with fast turnarounds!

Ivan is a really great person to work with. I truly enjoyed working with Ivan on several web and campaign projects during my time at GFI. Very dedicated, open to constructive criticism, able to work on design for many different applications and mediums, and is also great with deadlines. Thank you for being such an awesome part.

Ivan has proven himself as a valuable team member on many occasions and helped our department reach its goals regarding all deadlines. He has shown initiative in learning new skills and expanding his talents and even introduced some new design tools to our department. While he was able to follow the instructions he was also able to think with his own head and improve the design works. He is a very flexible person, creative and very confident about his work, but also accepts criticism gracefully.

Ivan was responsible for the design and implementation of content on our sites for one of our content marketing projects. There are some people who just give you a 'good feeling' when you are working with or interviewing them. When I was interviewing Ivan, I had that feeling and was so happy that he decided to work with us. Even though he was only here for a short time, I could already see that his effect was going to be very positive with the way he was suggesting ideas and providing input. I would highly recommend him for any position that he would now choose to pursue.
