Graphic Design

From the grease board to the sketch pad to the screen, Ryan starts with a vision of his (or his client's) ideal end product and works backwards to figure out how to make it a reality. Forced to teach himself how to use Adobe Pagemaker and Adobe Photoshop as a freshman high school newspaper editor, he pushed graphic design programs to their limit to find out just what he could do, and how he could achieve the look he wanted. Graduating to InDesign and Illustrator in college, he began creating logos, brands and visual identities, playing with retro aesthetics and updating classic looks. As a communications director, he would craft entire graphic campaigns for print, web and social, and vastly increased his knowledge base and skill set.
