//about me
hi. i’m ryan.
I’m an award winning advertising creative, art director, and conceptual thinker who believes great work works best when it’s at the intersection of imagination and insight.
I build worlds, stories and experiences for brands that invite people to play along.And I have a ton of fun doing it.
My passions lie in craft. I love film craft and am extremely at home in the production studio transferring a TV spot like I’ve done countless times for Rogers Communications, Chevrolet, and GoDaddy.
But I’m a bit outdoorsy, and I’m equally comfortable setting up an experiential activation in the middle of the city’s busiest square, like we did for McVities, Mini/BMW, and Converse, to name a few.
I’ve worked on cars, booze, telco, CPG, finance, RX, loyalty programs, and one time for a company that fixes 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.
Don’t get me wrong. If I could make a living building the LEGO Star Wars universe, I would. But until THAT becomes a job, I’ll keep doing this.
