A Comic Shop
Bootstrapped and ready for action!
My first serious attempt at using bootstrap, this site is meant to prove to myself that I have enough self-restraint to create a website completely grounded in reality.
Designificationalism
A simpe blog.
A slight departure from my "make everything different" philosophy, this is my attempt at building a responsive WordPress-esque blog from scratch and without looking up any references.
You Are What You Eat
A provocative piece of uhh...something.
First attempt at printmaking. Lots of blood, sweat, and more blood.
Quality Jeans
Poster For Tomorrow Entry
A poster to raise awareness for the state of sweatshop workers in Bangladesh and around the world.
Valencia Dance Rebrand
Clean design in motion.
An identity aiming to represent the gender-neutral dance program at Valencia College.
Reparse
A dynamic, modern news reader.
A yet-unfinished proof-of-concept webapp for reading articles with greater ease. No harsh bright screen, no infinite-width lines of text. Now if only WebKit's compositioning engine would cooperate for a minute...
Luma on Park
Fine wine and American cuisine.
A proof of concept on creative navigation, this restaurant website aims to make traversing menus and image slides feel tangible.
The Drunken Monkey
Hipsters rejoice!
A remixed version of the Luma on Park site with a shot of caffine.
Street Fighter II: Browser Edition
Ryu vs. Ken! Who will win?

Marx and Lennin
Authoritatively good fashion.
A digital storefront for a fictional footwear company. If only I could afford any of it...
Judge Jury and Executioner
Flash tweens running Amok.
An Atoms for Peace/Thom Yorke fan "video".
Westeros Map
A spoiler-free resource.
Made out of necessity, this can be used to flick around the map of the A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones universe. "So that's where Bear Island is!"
Calvin and Hobbes
A Flash site
A Flash project that never quite worked how I expected it. ActionScript is dead, long live ActionScript!
Jake's Mailman
A love story.
Just a few scalable vectors animated with CSS transitions sprinkled with a little bit of jQuery.
Print Squid
A relic of times past.
My first attempt at using Javascript. The code might be ugly, but the result is amicable.
of Montreal
A band site made with soul power.
One of my first websites. All interactive elements are pure CSS.
Iceberg
Has this parallax trend gone off the deep end?
Messing around with SVG, delaunay triangulation and Skrollr. Not much in terms of content, but what's there is pretty.
Ruben Del Rio
Designer
Philosophy
I design experiences. No pretension, no candy-coated buzzwords, just pure unbridled passion. I let my work speak for itself and never pretend to know more than the next guy. To the contrary, I’m a big fan of honest feedback, learning new things, and enjoying life to the fullest. Hire a designer, not a salesman.
