Questions + answers

What makes Grass Jelly Design Co. so unique?

Between the two of us, we cover a wide spectrum of styles and expertise. Ivan’s career has led him to become a UX and UI leader, while Vir specializes in executive communications and visual design. Our personal design styles are also very different. We think these differences are key to why we make a super versatile design duo!
