What’s up.
I’m Ryan and I like puppies.
I've spent the majority of my career in book publishing, where I’ve art directed and designed award-winning and bestselling titles for Penguin Random House, Sterling Children’s Books, Lonely Planet Kids, and Gibbs Smith among others.
Outside of publishing, I’ve also directed and designed in fashion, retail, and advertising.
I'm not currently pursuing freelance projects,
but give me a shout if there's an idea that you still
just HAVE to talk to me about.
