Bio
Tom Pisello
Ryan is a great visual designer, offering up and developing smart designs and practical improvement suggestions. His work on improving our value selling and marketing tools offerings helped to grow the business and dramatically improve customer experience. Ryan's work ethic combined with his ability to collaborate, listen and deliver is invaluable and an asset to any team he graces.
Carson V. Conant
Ryan is a fantastic UX designer and generally great person. He is humble, curious, and open mind. He's awesome at the job and not afraid to learn from those around him. He's always looking for ways to make the team around him better and more effective. Ryan has a knack for custom work - thinking outside the box to find that competitive edge. Ryan understands brand very well and one of the things he's great at is being able to quickly master any brand language/standards and turn around great on-brand experiences. This allowed him to deliver what our customers were looking for -- but he also added some additional surprises/ideas for consideration as well! If you have any questions about Ryan, I'm happy to discuss! Carson

Aug 2011 - Nov 2015
Lead Designer for over 200 small business clients and start-ups. Together we brought agency-level design services to various industries and entrepreneurs from all walks of life. Projects included brand identity, multi-channel marketing campaigns, visual design, and conducting workshops in historically disenfranchised communities teaching local businesses and entrepreneurs the impact a strong brand and visual design can have on their business and local economy. The results strengthened local businesses and entrepreneurs which in turn bolstered local economies, creating jobs and supporting economic growth in a myriad of ways. Our design services also strengthened and grew business at the Midtown Global Market; a renowned public market and business incubation space in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
