A CLOSE LOOK AT SOME OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS

DESIGNER - ILLUSTRATOR
The staff at high-end sushi and cocktail lounge, Kessaku, were in dire need of some fresh gear. But designing comfortable casual work wear that still projects the lavish vibe of an exclusive rooftop experience was no easy task.
The name Kessaku means “Masterpiece” so it seemed like a natural fit to draw from some of the great artwork of the past. From Picasso’s unbroken line drawings, to traditional Japanese ink painting, to Pop art and old-school Manga illustration, we explored a wide variety of aesthetics and pulled them together under the Kessaku brand.

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.
