A CLOSE LOOK AT SOME OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS
DESIGNER - ILLUSTRATOR
When Jessi from Valkyrie’s Vault and I sat down to talk through what her game store meant to her, she kept coming back to community and connection. Jessi is wildly passionate about breaking down toxic attitudes in the game community and being an ambassador for inclusivity in the gaming space.
The branding we created centers on an illustrated valkyrie playing with Sammy - The beloved feline CEO of the shop. The text and design structure of all the elements are more akin to a club or guild than a shop, emphasizing that the people who come and play and teach and read are what holds this special place together.

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 or merch designs.
I’ve worked with folk musicians, tabletop game designers, restaurateurs, campers, glampers, nerds, explorers, spicy creators, 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. Let’s work together! outridercreative@gmail.com
