Meet David Rowan Johnson

For David Rowan Johnson, design is more than aesthetics—it’s about creating functional spaces that elevate the way people live and work. With 15+ years of design and permitting experience in Los Angeles and New York and a Master’s in Architecture from UCLA, David’s dynamic approach blends creativity with technical expertise. His diverse portfolio includes custom residences, commercial spaces, and collaborations with other designers. 

Based in Venice Beach, David draws inspiration from its vibrant and creative energy. Here, he founded DRJ Design Studio, built on the belief that great design is not just an artistic pursuit, but one that prioritizes the client experience through efficiency, transparency, and meticulous execution.
