The Fins Up DJs started as a passion project and an excuse to throw parties without pretension. Just pure fun, smooth beach tunes and loads of dancing. It grew into an all-out party series with loyal followers craving throwback jams and a taste of paradise in the windy city.
We created branding, swag and a social media graphics suite to build up hype for a super-smooth river cruise. Beachy colors and retro illustrations helped set the stage for a sold-out event two years in a row. Old Style’s Cooler By The Lake Radler was the perfect beverage partner and co-branded coozies and sunglasses helped keep all the guests sailing in style.

A FEW THINGS
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.

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.
