About Ivan Levak : Ivan Levak is a creative director and designer from Zagreb who grew up in Milan and was educated in Holland and Germany. He started his creative adventure during his college days as a volunteer to create an event that later will become Croatian's first design week called D-Day (Design Day). Being able to meet all the design scene at that time, he starts doing his first product design collection for a very important, local design shop called Modus. After learning how to be an independent senior designer, he moves to Holland to master his graphic design skills and learn more about hospitality and spatial design. Then he moves to Berlin and finishes his internship in a mid-scale art production team as a product designer. With this international experience he gets recruited by a international startup to be their R&D product researcher. His latest vision is to build up his design studio and scout all the creative young bloods and make them future design icons from Croatia.
STATEMENT OF ART:
To simplify heavy ideas using light words. To be able to communicate with a simple solution worldwide and be understood. To make everyday rituals as playful as possible for people.

That’s what design, for me, is all about.
