Raymon Sutedjo-The is a web designer & developer based in Chicago, IL. And ray-mon.com is my personal website, in case you haven’t figured that out yet.
I am originally from Jakarta, Indonesia, but moved to Chicago in Fall 2004 to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I graduated in 2007 with a BFA in Visual Communication. Currently I’m working as a web developer/designer; although the majority of my time is spent on web development, I still very much enjoy design, be it graphic, web, or identity design.
In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music & going to concerts, reading, traveling, & taking long walks at the beach (although it’s impossible to do during colder months).
See my portfolio, read my resume, & don’t hesitate to stalk contact me. I don’t bite. Unless asked to.
