Andry Ratovondraona

About

As the Design Principal at Else Andry is responsible for leading and delivering projects but also building the core skills of the junior team. After many years of training in pushing and animating pixels, he moved onto solving system and service design problems. Nowadays he’s often found scratching his head trying to make sense of business requirement documents, to make sure the team has the right foundation and a clear course of action.

Andry believes that users deserve the best possible experience and he will always strive to safeguard the integrity of the proposition. He will push product owners, business analysts and developers to also focus on the little things that matter. His ultimate goal is to convince everyone that MVP means Most Valuable Proposition.
