Hi, I'm Ryan. I love to create. Usually that means drawing lots and lots of pictures; but it also means imagining new worlds, building games from scratch, or crafting personalized iconography.

I’ve been utilizing my lifelong artistic passion, fine art background and years of marketing agency experience to make lots of cool stuff for adventurous folks. Stuff like beautiful book layouts, key illustrations for tabletop games, expressive brand identity, and eye-catching packaging designs.

I’ve worked with folk musicians, game designers, chefs, bakers, campers, glampers, nerds, explorers, spicy creators, whisky drinkers, antique dealers and dog walkers. No matter the industry, I love to partner with creative spirits looking for impactful hand-touched elements to breathe life into their project.

When I need to recharge the creative tank, I play games with my friends, explore the outdoors with my partner and two kids, or dive into the picture book section of a used bookstore.

Let's Work Together

WHY OUTRIDER?
An outrider is someone who rides ahead to make sure that the rest of the group is ok.They look outward to the horizon and chart new territory. They’re someone who might go alone and take a unique path but always has the safety and wellbeing of the group in mind. Outrider is my ethos for the art I create. To be adventurous and new while holding space for everyone in your heart.
