Hey there, I’m RyanVincent Alvarez, but RVA is the go-to nickname if you’re short on time.

I’m a systems-thinking designer with 15 years of creative experience, but the spark for my work can be traced all the way back to my childhood. Toy Story—Pixar’s pioneering first feature—was the moment I realized the magic of digital storytelling. Meanwhile, K'NEX, that classic STEAM toy, helped me build the engineering foundation to match my creative ideas with a solid structure. You can currently find me leading design for some of the most complex and ambiguous experiences at eBay.

Some call me a designer, others a photographer, but at the end of the day, I’m just a storyteller with an uncanny ability to make friends with dogs. It’s a gift, really.
