About

Hola, I'm Ivan from Argentina, and this is my story. I'm a software developer dropout. I used to work as a UX designer since the late 90s. My last for-hire job was a 1200 screen hosting automation software. After going free, I founded a UX design agency called VisualPharm. At some point, we started publishing free icon packs for self-promotion. That's how Icons8 was born. Since then, Icons8 has created several tools: Pichon for managing graphics Lunacy as a full-scale design software And Mega Creator for quick illustration and photo tweaks. Then came AI. We started to use it for our internal tools. Our first public project was Generated Photos, a collection of portraits of people that don't exist. These are just our first steps to making designers focus on creativity. Stay tuned.

Brila - One-page websites from real Google Maps reviews

Website generators give you a template with made-up copy. You rewrite it for hours – still sounds generic. Brila does content first. It reads your Google Maps reviews, finds why customers actually choose you using Jobs to Be Done, and builds a one-page site from real patterns, real wording, real photos. When a business has enough reviews, the results often surprise even the owners. Not a single prompt – a serious AI system behind every website. Free plan gives you a fully generated site.
