My Story

Hi, I’m Ryan. I’m a UI designer with front-end coding experience skilled at empathizing with people and creating user-centric design solutions. After working in many different sectors, including the military, sales, and customer service, I decided to retrain as a UI designer to take my passion for technology and turn it into a career. My background in jewelry design has taught me to understand attention to detail while designing for clients and the best practices to make an aesthetic design work effectively. I am always looking at products to see which ways I can improve the experience and design. And I am eager to carry this focus over to an innovative team to help implement new ideas and processes quickly and effectively while helping to streamline workflows and communication.
