We, as the Designer Interviews ("DI") had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to interview award-winning, most creative and innovative Ivan Khalus and Oleh Berezovskyi ("IKAOB").

Our team is strong retro enthusiasts – we believe in Pixel art and Old School style. The simplicity, versatility, and expressiveness of pixel art have always fascinated each of pixio-team with its charm and unlimited potential. It seemed to us as though PIXIO always existed in our soul and now it's time for its materialization. Our team is always in action, always constantly searching for new cool ideas, really something new, which was not there before. This year PIXIO became a winner of RedDot Award: Product Design 2018.
