ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Norman, IL, I established my Chicago residency in 2016. I’ve been involved in the arts since a young age, which led to my passion for writing and visual arts. In undergrad, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in both Mass Communications and Theatre, which helped me develop my passion for storytelling and art throughout all mediums. Other hobbies include television, video games, reading, and red pandas.

I’ve been doing freelance graphic and illustration work for over a decade and have had the privilege to work with a number of unique clients. I thoroughly enjoy solving a clients’ needs and helping them explore their brand and vision.

TESTIMONIALS

Carlyn A. (Book Binge Presents)
”Ryan is so incredibly talented! He swooped in to help with just a one-and-a-half-day deadline after my original designer had to drop out. The promo images required him to make original art and what he came up with, so very quickly, is beyond what I was genuinely capable of imagining. Not only is he efficient and professional, he's great to work with and a bit of a mind reader. I cannot recommend him enough and look forward to working with him again in the future.”

Mackenzie N. (Remy Bumppo Theatre Co.)
”Ryan is admired and respected by our staff and has an amazing knack for design, marketing, theatre, and the drive to learn as much as possible. Not only was Ryan an excellent asset to the team- but as a leader when it came to creating logos, posters, and building images to use in various campaigns throughout our season… Ryan always went above and beyond our expectations with every project he helped with and was never hesitant to ask questions to make sure that everything would turn out the way we wanted it to. He has a tremendous ability to communicate with those around him and helps motivate others to think outside the box.”

Derrick J. (Jarrod Financial Services, Inc.)
”As a new business owner, there are so many important things to consider, so many ideas to weigh, and so many tasks to complete. However, when it came to designing, producing, and digitizing my company's logo, I decided to turn to a true professional. Ryan was the first and last call that I made, and I couldn't be more happy with his work.”
