CASEY DELMONT JOHNSON

Casey Delmont Johnson is executive designer and producer for Roux Brands. He has overseen the design and production of thousands of home products that have reached the hands of nearly a million Americans. His passions reside in the philosophy of design and product-line storytelling
This site represents the culmination of a person. Literally the music of a life. Not limited to just sound, of course, but a variety of things that represent a who. I haven't composed this for anyone but myself. This is a study about me. My goal is to attract myself to me in a humble way. To collaborate with the past versions of me. To seek out new frontiers of Casey. To go where Casey has never gone before. 

Who?  
​
Casey, you are an Artist Philosopher. You've studied art, art history and philosophy. You have a talent for design and ornament. You recognize that nothing is unique. It is only a re-creation of God's masterwork. You are finding truth in the transience of life. 
You are from a small town east of the state capital. Your dad is Californian, Indian - he came from the Wild West. Your mother is Scottish, English - she is humble and her grandfather was a Saint. This is what you are. 

When?

What?
You were born 36 years ago. 

Where?

You are  somewhere  in between your first and last days.  Indeed, these are the last days for you.  There is no reason to tarry. Where you are is  relevant only when you are going somewhere.  You are headed towards change. 

Spection

I am looking into myself, others, and the world. I am analyzing and segregating. Extracting and absorbing. I am breaking down. I am looking for the speck.

Inception

Unconscious incompetence. Here I am thinking about what I can be. I want more. I desire to achieve and be the best that I can be. This is closely tied to fantasy. It is the projection of me. 

Creation

What is creation? As a designer I am torn. Part of me says that a designer is different from a creator, but another part of me says that they are exactly the same. 

Transformation

Conscious competence. I'm becoming. My inception has produced some thing, but its not quite me yet. 

Love

I need to find the empathetic. It is so powerful. It connects me to the world in a proper way. I feel in union when I love. I am not afraid. Love makes me better in so many ways. It makes me burn on the inside, draws me to my knees. Here, I find the man I am. He's bold, romantic, warm and whole.

Deception

Conscious incompetence. Satan. The deceiver. This place haunts me. It tries to bind me together with past versions of myself. I feel emotional, trapped, and weak. It is the realization that I might not be. 

Fantasy

This part of me is in another place. Less constrained. More exotic. I think there is a lot of potential in this place. It is definitely the most dark and the most rich. I can't stay here for long. 

Identity

Unconscious competence. I am my new self. Here, I must fantasize into the next version of me. I must project again. Why stay in one place for long? Especially when, it has become who you are.
