Hi. I’m ryan.
I’m an award winning advertising creative, art director, designer, photographer, world traveller, car nut and movie nerd. I’m super collaborative and I believe strongly in creative first.
I have this theory that all art directors are writers that draw for a living, and all writers are art directors that don’t. Yes we each have our disciplines, but we’re both equally charged with telling a compelling, persuasive story, and I’ve been lucky to wear both hats several times in my career. I’m actually working on something right now that will add an IMDB writing credit to my resume, so, please stay tuned for that.
In my years in the industry I’ve worked on cars, booze, telco, CPG, finance, RX, loyalty programs, and one time for a company that fixed small planes. It’s been super fun and I would very much like to keep having fun. That’s what makes this job special right? You get to hang out with geniuses and come up with new and unusual ways to get people excited about stuff they may never have thought about in a certain way. It’s a blast; the perfect blend of art and business.
Please get in touch if you’d like to hang out and talk about cars, movies, places you’ve been, places you’d like to go, and hey, maybe even advertising. If there’s time.
