DIRECTOR
hej - hello - hola
My Name is Ryan.
I’m a Commercial Director based in Michigan by way of California and Oregon.
My directing style is characterized by a natural ability to connect easily with others. Clients and collaborators describe me as a people-person.
I take a curated and artistic approach to filmmaking, focusing on intentionally composed and stylized visuals that tell stories, highlight products and express concepts.
Most of my films features dynamic motion graphics, 3D animation and compositing. These additions elevate the work and create moments that surprise and delight the audience.
I have a growing interest in architecture and a compulsive inclination for grid based design systems. I’m a sucker for meeting at coffee shops and I'm oddly passionate about handwriting my shot-lists on index cards.
Friday nights are spent watching films with the fam, weekends feature impromptu backyard hangs and Monday nights at 7 PM I play proper football with my best friends.
I have a B.A. in Cinema and Broadcast Arts from Azusa Pacific University. Before relocating to Michigan, I was a Producer at Cinco Design in Portland, OR.
The Princess Bride (film) was released the year I was born.
