Hello there. I am a designer who cares about making things that work well, look good, and actually help someone.

Hey, I’m Jackson Ritchey, a designer and developer early in my career, but already deep into building tools, websites, and digital experiences that are thoughtful, clear, and built for real people.

While in college I studied entrepreneurship and computer science, which pushed me toward product design, immersive tech, and creative problem-solving. Since then, I’ve co-founded a small studio, led the design of a calming VR app for neurodiverse students (now part of a published academic study), and redesigned websites for local businesses and organizations, always with a focus on usability, accessibility, and clean, responsive design.

I care about details, team energy, and making things that actually help someone. I’m looking for a team where I can keep learning, build things that matter, and grow into the kind of designer people trust to figure things out.
