Ruth de Jesus is an  interactive designer, developer, and illustrator known for her quirky interests and towering stature.

am a San Francisco based interactive designer with a Fine Arts background.like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain and coding websites that have the feel of champagne.. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Web Design and New Media from the University of Michigan School of Art & Design.

Solving problems and creating new visual languages is my passion. I believe that the function of design is not just about beauty, it's about meaning. A nice design is enjoyable and pleasing to the eye. A great design brings instant understanding and purpose. I’m an advocate of elegant design that is intuitive and promotes enjoyable user experience. My designs are creative, well-structured, and extremely detailed in execution.

Currently, I create websites for small and large companies and design for Bay Area institutions, such as the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. I also help businesses grow by building their online presence and increasing efficiency through custom web applications. If you have any projects which incorporate any or all of these skills, please get in contact with me via email or @ruth_dejesus!

Testimonials

She brings a strong combination of creativity and technical capabilities to every project.

Ruth is a very creative designer. She often would take our design explorations beyond the obvious and look to add a human and emotional touch to the users' experience. Her hand crafted illustrations are elegant and whimsical and we used many in our user communications. She brings a strong combination of creativity and technical capabilities to every project.

Ruth is a superb designer and outstanding team player.

During my time at Education.com, I considered her one of the biggest assets the company had due to her dedication to her work, eye for detail, and communication skills. She has an uncanny ability to keep her eye on the big picture--UX factors, SEO, and engineering considerations all inform her design decisions. It was a privilege whenever one of my design request tickets would end up assigned to Ruth.

Ruth did a fantastic job guiding me and my marketing/recruiting team to a powerful and flexible new website.

She was patient with our many levels of approval and website iterations. All the while, her design aesthetic and the logic of Ruth's recommendations were impeccable. I would absolutely work with her in the future if the occasion arises.

Ruth has a natural finesse as a designer and a rock solid background in development.

Ruth has a unique, valuable combination of skills: she has a natural finesse as a designer and a rock solid background in development. She contributes to projects well because she can get it going from the start or jump in during the design phase, and her dev skills make it easy for devs to turn her designs into code. She's logical, a good communicator, and trustworthy. Her drive is ridiculous. She's extremely hardworking, dedicated to a high-quality product every time, and yet easygoing on personal level.

It has been such a pleasure to work with Ruth.

Ruth can be counted on to do her job as needed to such a degree that, the management teams could turn to her and have confidence the job would be done not only to our high standard but also in a positive and upbeat style.

Her work was consistently seamless.

I've had the pleasure of working with Ruth for a little over a year at Webmarketing123, and every interaction with her was always pleasant. Not only did she possess a strong skill to turn ideas into actual designs, but her work was consistently seamless. She also has a strong ability to stick to timelines, if not beat them more often than not. I would love for the opportunity to work with her, again.

I have found Ruth not only to have excellent writing skills, but great attention to detail as well.

Our techcenter is a fast-paced and high stress environment. However, Ruth has proven herself to be efficient and extremely motivated - with her eagerness to always take on new projects and roles and her ability to multi-task.
