Manuel Ryan Espinosa

Product Designer

Irvine, CA, USA
A passion that I have gained in the visual arts realm has been creating interactive designs for software. The feeling I get when the artwork takes on the form of real live function is inexplicably surreal. I am currently working on a series of mobile and web app projects that I call 365. When the series is finished, I will have completed 365 different mobile and web app designs and prototypes.
