What I'm looking for

After years of working on my own across brands and clients, I’m ready to bring my senior creative perspective to a team. I look forward to working alongside talented people, contributing to a larger vision, and building something stronger together than any of us could build alone.

At Ryan Makes Art, I founded and lead an independent creative studio delivering brand identity, art direction, photography, and digital design. I’ve built long-term creative partnerships across technology, energy, cycling, outdoor, healthcare, and agriculture.

As Creative Director at Moonshot, I served as lead creative director across the majority of its client roster. I art directed Andreessen Horowitz’s brand rebrand, guiding illustration systems, 3D renders, custom typography, and a responsive logo system.

I also led editorial and information design for a16z crypto’s annual State of Crypto report. My work has been recognized by the Print Regional Design Annual and LogoLounge, and I’m ready to bring my senior creative perspective to a team, contribute to a larger vision, and build something stronger together.
