About

Regan Johnson - The man who doesn't need to open his eyesMy name is Regan Johnson, and I am a 22 year old creative mogul from Calgary, Alberta, Canada - welcome to my little piece of the internet.

Web development has always been a passion of mine - as evident by the MANY different branches I have explored. With so many projects, clients, and dreams going on in my life, soaptray.com is finally a place where I can bring them all together (okay, so the truth is out, this is just a place to keep me organized).

Design

I have been involved in illustration, construction, architecture, and design for the entire part of my life that I can remember (although that’s not to say that I wasn’t sketching and creating masterpieces inside the womb). I enjoy the process of design from the concept, to proof, to the final product - I am always amazed at how many times things can change before it’s just right. I get my inspiration from nature, people, and looking out my window into the vacant lots where they are building new houses past experiences in my life. I like to take a minimalistic, fresh and clean approach to my works.

Development

Working with PHP and MySQL, I enjoy developing unique and efficient web applications. Programming appeals to me because of the thousands of different ways and techniques that you can use to achieve the same goal - it’s one thing in life where there is never a single solution to any problem. I am continually learning new methods and optimizations to make myself a better programmer.

Photography

Photography is something that I absolutely love. Equipped with my Canon 400D Digital SLR, and a plethora of glass (lenses), I am able to capture the beauty in the world as I see it. Be sure to check out my Flickr page which I will be continually updated with my photos.

Current Projects

Datepad.com - Free Online Dating

I would call this my career, rather than a project. I have dedicated an enormous amount of time into Datepad, and it consumes most of my days (which is something I am very happy about). I am the Director of Technology at Datepad.com - a fresh, fun, and intuitive social dating site. I am responsible for the design, branding and development of it’s proprietary systems. With a good friend of mine, Collin LaHay, we are also tackling the ever challenging and rewarding aspect of marketing.

Datepad has a team of very diverse, and well balanced people. To say the least, I am ecstatic about being a part of this venture.
