DESIGNER - ILLUSTRATOR
Live music is a sensory experience. The sounds, the lights, the drinks and of course the atmosphere. A sense of place is an essential componant to any succesful music festival.
With the Americana Music Fest being held in the charming Midwest town of Three Oaks, Michigan, I looked to the environment itself for inspiration on how to bring the visual aspects of the fest to life.
Referencing some snapshots I took of old signage, the texture of the Acorn Theatre itself, and the colors of the small town landscape I built custom lettering and the eagle logo that formed the centerpiece of the fest’s visual identity.

ABOUT ME
FATHER OF TWO • AQUARIUS • ASPIRING WIZARD
Hi, I'm Ryan.
My passion is developing top-rail artwork and design for trail blazers and scoundrels.I get true satisfaction by helping those with a unique vision refine their voice through hand-crafted designs and illustration.
I’ve been utilizing my fine art background and 12 years of marketing agency experience to make lots of cool stuff for adventurous folks. Stuff like beautiful book layouts, key illustrations, expressive brand identity, and eye-catching packaging and merch designs.
I’ve worked with folk musicians, tabletop 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.
