A CLOSE LOOK AT SOME OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS
CREATIVE DIRECTOR, DESIGNER, CO-PRODUCER
I was thrilled to be able to co-produce the Midwest Flair Fest events with artist Amanda Stilwell in 2018 and 2019. Our goal was to bring together the community of makers and collectors who shared a love of accesories from enamel pins and patches to bandanas, jewelry and other wearable art. Sponsored by pin manufacturer, Stadri Emblems, we succeeded in hosting a full house of over 40 vendors with a line around the block at the historic Thalia Hall to get our branded gift bags full of goodies from our vendors.
Inspired by artisan’s guilds, labor unions and community organizations, the Midwest Flair Fest brand gives an air of importance to artists, collectors, fashionistas and all those who are passionate about pins, patches and self-expression.

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.

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.
