About Me 😎
"Hi, my names RJ, a UX/UI Designer with a track record of leading projects from ideation to launch. Most recently, I served as Lead Designer at Online Image, an SEO development company, where I owned the full design process: research, ideation, prototyping, testing, and final execution. I thrive on creating impactful digital experiences, whether it’s redesigning websites for multi-million-dollar brands, crafting web apps, or building visual identities from scratch.
Earlier, as Creative Director for Spacestation Gaming, I shaped the organization’s brand identity while managing cross-functional projects—from content creation and player contracts to sponsorships and live events. My versatility across design and strategy has honed my ability to deliver high-quality work, no matter the challenge.
I specialize in modern, user-centered design that balances aesthetics with accessibility. Staying ahead of trends is important, but I prioritize solutions that are both visually engaging and intuitively functional.
Outside of design, I’m a lifelong creative who is always getting my hands into projects. Whether its music, digital media, or even cooking, I’m always learning to create. I’m also endlessly curious; you’ll often find me learning something new, diving into random topics, or connecting with people in Salt Lake City’s design community, where I actively participate and volunteer.
Let’s chat! I’d love to share how my skills and experiences could bring value to your team.
