About

Who We Are

  • One Head
  • Some Limbs
  • A lot of Coffee
  • A little Sleep

We collaborate with businesses of all shapes and sizes. There is no one single fit for everyone. This is why our key to a successful launch is to work side by side with every client to see through their vision.

Ivan Lima Design is an independent creative practice partnering with businesses to define, build, and evolve their brands.

With experience spanning brand identity, art direction, digital experiences, and integrated campaigns, we bring strategic thinking and hands-on creative execution to every engagement. Our process is collaborative by design: understand the challenge, find the idea worth pursuing, and build a visual system that brings it to life.

We believe the strongest work happens when clear thinking meets creative ambition. When the people making it are willing to challenge assumptions, explore possibilities, and sweat the details we find the real magic.

We have been design consultants for some amazing brands like Grammarly, Le Creuset, the Charleston Symphony, Eat.Learn.Play, Oaklandish, & Adidas, for example.

Ivan Lima

Creative Direction & Design

You could say that Ivan Lima’s career took flight back in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when he was just a young boy. He was initially exposed to art by his grandmother, an artist herself, where growing up she taught him to appreciate the rich culture and creativity that surrounded him. Graffiti scattered about on city walls, murals painted on sides of buildings, and arts fairs on every corner were just some of the influences that inspired his creativity from a very early age.

Years later, Ivan went on to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology living in Charleston, South Carolina. Although Ivan had expressed a strong interest in psychology, he never lost touch with his artistic roots; after several years working in the mental health field, the creative itch finally got the best of him. He decided to return to his first passion, and began his endeavor in the graphic design world. It was a rekindled love. In 2007, Ivan founded Ivan Lima Design. He began designing independently throughout the Bay Area, and continues to forge new partnerships within the industry.

Ivan Lima has consulted for several brands in the Bay Area, CA and in Charleston, SC. Most recently serving as Art Director for Oaklandish, Eat.Learn.Play., and the Charleston Symphony.
