Hi, I'm Ivan Ochoa, a design student at Rochester Institute of Technology pursuing a B.F.A. in New Media Design, with expected graduation in May 2026. I blend UX research with visual design to craft intuitive, engaging digital experiences. I've worked as RoamROC's Marketing Designer and as a server at La Cazona and Mecate Restaurants. I redesigned the Tennessee state ID/driver's license for a digital wallet and built AR features to help users explore Rochester downtown, aiming to attract more visitors. I also designed up to 10 social graphics for three major platforms, boosted engagement, and collaborated with management on seasonal promotions while delivering strong customer service and problem-solving.
