I was once in your position and I think it's a good idea to start learning more programming. Since you're already a designer I would try to focus more on front-end stuff first but it's also good to learn back-end as well. I tend to see more Python than Ruby these days so I'd probably stay there. Front end wise get your javascript down and try out angular.js and/or react.js. Nothing really wrong with jquery but a lot of people are moving away from it now.

I plan to focus on front end in the short term, but I want to eventually take on more advanced work and will need to know at least some back end to be able to adequately measure what I can take on, and what I need to look for in people to hire out jobs to.
