My name is Ivan. I was born in Almansa (Albacete) cradle of men's shoes for more than a century. I currently work and reside in Elche (Alicante).
From an early age I have great passion for drawing and design. I'm a graphic designer, modeler and illustrator under the name of "Freevan Design".

I am also a shoe designer and this I am going to expand a little more information.
18 years ago I started my career in the design of men's footwear. I was inspired by spy movies and secret agents, blending classic lines with modern conventional shoes soles and lasts more daring.
During this period I worked with fashion houses that were like that. A modern and elegant footwear sold in Europe and the United States.

The art, the New Wave, pop the various genres that emerged from the late 50s well into their 70s, 90s birthpop with the aesthetics of the 60 groups have been my role models to this day.

In the late 50s and early 60s there was a real change in the concept of menswear hand fashion icon, John Stephen: tight pants, stripes, booties, ultimately clothing as a means to express the personality, enhance the elegance, attractiveness and differentiate themselves.

In Dr.Watson I want to reflect all these hallmarks: style, elegance and quality.

The process is purely handmade, from design creation by drawing it into a 3D mold to enter the shoe box. Leather, plush and splits premium, blind eyelets, stitched leather sole for added slip used to dance. The materials I use are leather, plush and Florentí (brushed leather). With all higher quality and durability of the shoe is achieved.

All models, made by hand, ensuring a unique and exclusive footwear.
