Ryan offers skills in every stage of the creative process, which he polished during his several years as a fine artist and illustrator, gaining exposure through established print publications and multiple successful state and national exhibitions. Seeking digital tools to expand his repertoire, Ryan also worked as a Graphic Artist for Studio A Design, where he pushed the conceptual limits of advertising and promotional design. Simultaneously, he served as P.R. Director for Persona Art and Literary Magazine, where he developed strategies to increase the exposure of the publication through engaging advertising, which bolstered the periodical’s public image and significantly increased submissions. Sharing his creative knowledge with others, he also dabbled in the education field as both a Drawing Instructor for the City of Scottsdale and as a Writing Tutor for undergraduate and masters students at the University of Arizona, from which he holds a B.F.A. in Visual Communications. In his spare time, Ryan enjoys hobbies, interests, and collections. |
