Who is Devin Johnson?

A Designer Bridging Brand and User Experience


I’m a multidisciplinary designer with more than nine years of experience in graphic design and four years in UX. I combine visual storytelling, user research, and systems thinking to create brands and digital experiences that are engaging, intuitive, and built with purpose.


My experience spans regional government, nonprofit organizations, international retail, and finance, with work for Bath & Body Works, MORPC, COTA, the City of Dublin, ArboHQ, and other organizations. At MORPC, I’ve created identities for initiatives such as Trail Towns Central Ohio and the Central Ohio Passenger Rail Committee, using design to make complex regional projects more accessible to the communities they serve. I’ve also developed vendor relationships that reduced production costs by an average of 8–10% per project.


I hold a bachelor’s degree in User Experience Design and a UX/UI certification from Springboard. As I continue growing toward UX engineering, I’m expanding my understanding of the relationship between design, technology, and product development.


Outside of work, I’m usually studying Japanese, traveling, playing video games, watching anime, or reading philosophy. Each gives me a different way to explore people, culture, and the ideas that shape how we experience the world.
