Hello
My name is Jason R. Somrajit, and I am a dedicated digital design and development professional with a strong academic foundation and hands-on experience in user-centered design, programming, and interactive systems. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Simulation and Game Design with a concentration in programming, and a Master of Science in Interaction Design and Information Architecture from the University of Baltimore. To further specialize my skills, I completed two graduate certificates—one in Advanced UX Research and another in User Experience (UX). With a multidisciplinary background that combines technical expertise and design insight, I am well-equipped to create innovative, intuitive, and user-focused digital experiences.
My Story
From a young age, I’ve been passionate about video games, technology, and art. Growing up in Baltimore, MD, I spent countless hours immersed in games and exploring digital tools, which sparked a deep curiosity about how interactive experiences are created. This interest led me to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Simulation and Game Design with a concentration in programming from the University of Baltimore. During my studies, I was introduced to the fundamentals of UI/UX design through game interface development, which soon grew into a true passion for user-centered design. To further develop this interest, I earned a Master of Science in Interaction Design and Information Architecture, along with graduate certificates in Advanced UX Research and User Experience (UX). These academic experiences gave me a solid foundation in usability testing, information architecture, wireframing, and research methodologies, allowing me to blend creativity with analytical insight.
My technical background is complemented by a diverse set of skills across design, development, and research. I have hands-on experience conducting both qualitative and quantitative research, including usability testing and diary studies for projects such as BlockFi. I’m proficient in several coding languages including HTML, JavaScript, Python, and C#, and I regularly work with tools such as Unity, Blender, Maya, and software in the Adobe and Affinity suites. My experience also includes IT and managerial roles, which have strengthened my problem-solving, communication, and project coordination skills—traits that I bring into every collaborative design and development environment.
Outside of my formal education and professional experience, I continue to explore digital creativity through self-directed learning. I’m a self-taught 2D digital artist with a strong interest in visual storytelling, and I’m currently expanding my skill set in 3D modeling using Blender. This combination of technical expertise, research proficiency, and creative drive enables me to design digital experiences that are not only functional and user-friendly but also engaging and visually impactful. I’m always eager to learn, adapt, and take on new challenges that push the boundaries of interactive design.
