ABOUT ME

My name is Jeff Ras and I am a senior designer with nearly ten years of experience driving research and new product development. I have had the pleasure to work with clients from small startups to national corporations and Fortune 500 companies. I have a track record of leading projects from research and development, through conceptual design to final product delivery to the market.

Driven by a creative and passionate nature, I aim to fulfill strategic visions in the most efficient and effective way, and enjoy working cross-functionally across teams to get the job done. I have collaborated with marketing professionals, engineers, and researchers, to execute the visual and technical communication of product innovation and brand identity across multiple industries.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, reading, coffee, staying active, meeting new people, and always learning new things. I am always eager to connect with like-minded professionals, so please feel free to reach out to me by sending a message!
