About

My name is Justin DeBlois.  I work as a Web Designer in Orange County.

Outside of work, I’m constantly learning new and varied skills – software development and sewing being my go to right now.

Most recently, I’ve been passionate about building design systems (big or small) and how we, as designers, can utilize them to reduce time spent reinventing the wheel and focus on really matters.
