About Me 😎

Ayo! I’m RJ, formerly the lead UX + UI Designer at Online Image, a SEO development company where I lead the design projects from ideation, facilitation, design, prototyping, testing, and launch. I’m a multi-talented king of design who can work on a project every step of the way. I’ve helped multi-million dollar franchises re-haul their websites to much success, designed web apps, and developed identity for brands who needed it. In the past I worked as a Creative Director for Spacestation Gaming helping with their identity design as well as manage the framework between content creation, pro player contracts, sponsorships, and events. I’ve worn a lot of hats throughout my career which have only benefited the amazing quality of work I produce.

My style of design focuses on modern aesthetics that enhances the user/viewer's experience. I shoot for a balance of current design trends that are visually pleasing but also user accessible.

I’m an overall creative person so you can catch me drawing, painting, producing music, playing music or shows, cooking etc.

I’m an actively curious person so I love learning, trying new things, and meeting new people. This is why if you have questions about a certain topic I might have the answer since I’m just full of random facts, studies, or experiences.

I’m also an active member in the design community where I participate, volunteer, and enjoy the events in Salt Lake City.
