Interactive
DESIGNER
My name is Charles "CJ" Diggs. Over the last 15 years, I have designed interactive experiences for websites, apps, web-based games, and tools. My passion lies at the intersection of UI Design & Development (HTML/CSS, Javascript, GSAP, canvas), micro-interactions, motion, and design systems.
About Me
I currently lead a cross-departmental initiative at Roku, collaborating with designers and developers to establish a cohesive, Roku branded design system for all web properties. Although I am experienced in just about every stage of the interactive product design process, my passion lies in UX/UI conceptualization and high-fidelity prototyping. In the image below, I am presenting a conceptual redesign of Roku.com at the 2018 Roku hackathon.
