RECOIL DESIGN
Ron Zaragoza | The Creative Behind Recoil Design
Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with brands such as PlayStation, Ubisoft, LucasArts, and Capcom—creating work that spans packaging and print, trade show environments, marketing collateral, and digital content across a wide range of branded initiatives.
While a significant portion of my experience includes projects within the video game industry, my work has always extended beyond any single category. I’ve contributed to product launches, brand experiences, and visual systems designed to live comfortably across both physical and digital spaces—adapting to the needs of each client, audience, and environment.
I operate as an independent designer through my studio, Recoil Design, a creative division of Recoil Interactive, LLC, focusing on freelance and contract collaborations. I enjoy working closely with teams and clients, and many relationships continue over time because I’m dependable, low-ego, and easy to work with. Clear communication, meeting deadlines, and staying aligned with project goals are priorities for me—whether I’m leading the creative or supporting an existing team.
I’m especially drawn to work that requires thoughtful execution and strong visual storytelling, including brand identity, merchandise design, marketing collateral, UX visuals, and environmental graphics. I value projects where strategy and craft come together to create work that feels intentional and well considered.
Outside of client work, I spend time with my family, train jiu-jitsu, hike with my dog, play drums, and stay curious through design, tech, and wellness podcasts.
If you’re looking for a creative partner who’s personally invested in the work and easy to collaborate with, I’d love to connect.
