ABOUT

I'm Ryan, nice to meet you!

Designing has always been an important part of my life, personally and professionally. I have always used art and design as a vehicle to express my creative side. Having experience in print shops, I was able to learn the fundamentals of designing for professional companies and making their logo work on a number of mediums to get the best advertising results.

Along with print experience, I have also regularly done freelance work. Working from home, I have done various work for professional athletes to local business and everything in between! I spend much of my time working closely with various NASCAR drivers & teams on all things aesthetics. I am excited to see where graphic design takes me next, and look forward to working with you in the future!

With my experience as a lead designer in multiple print shops, I was responsible for many of the day-to-day operations working on projects such as logo designs, vehicle wraps, sign/billboard designs, flyers and various other types of promotional work. I also gained valuable experience in file preparation, as well as learning how to use the Pantone Color Matching system. Aside from design duties I was also in charge of printing and laminating many of the signs/wraps we produced.

I have regularly done freelance design work away from my time in print shops and throughout my time in college (Advertising/Graphic Design). I am able to handle the needs of any type of client but specialize in motorsports design. Having always been interested in racing and drawing cars as a kid, I learned how to do design/renderings on the computer for the NASCAR Racing 2003 Simulator in middle school. 

I got an opportunity to do a sponsorship proposal for race car driver Ryan Crane in late 2009. They needed a render so I was able to help them out with that and they got the money needed. It all started there, and since then I have been fortunate enough to do work for many drivers/teams in the top three series of NASCAR from designing the race car liveries, promotional materials, social media graphics, apparel and more.
