A CLOSE LOOK AT SOME OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Outrider started as an excuse to build my own brand from scratch. Something exciting and new where I could share my art and ideas with the world. The goal of Outrider is to take the ideas and visuals of Boy Scouts and Roy Rogers fan clubs and these sort of silly childhood secret societies and flip the language on its head.
Instead of getting a badge for shooting rifles you can give yourself a bit of flair for being yourself and participating in your daily adventure, whatever that means to you.
Its gear for adventurers, merit badges for feelings, and insignia for the secret society of scoundrels, scallawags and weirdos.
Since its inception, I’ve created a full product line for a unique lifestyle brand – enamel pins, stationary, bandanas, jewelry and prints – sold online and at pop-up events and markets. In 2018 Outrider was invited to sell a the curated Creative Works Conference market in Memphis, TN.

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.
