Hey, I'm Ryan
Designer, problem solver, and
I'm a product designer interested in building experiences that are logical, thoughtful, and accessible.
I currently reside in Tampa,FL, where I help simplify the home remodeling experience at Masonite. Previously, I helped build a problem-solving platform for payments at Chargebacks911
I’m driven to learn why people do what they do so I can create experiences that are intuitive and successful. I’ve helped rethink, prototype and design solutions to help bring empathy and simplicty into complex problems - which is a fancier way of saying I help things make sense.
If you'd like to see more of what I've been working on, take a look at my CodePen, Dribbble, Github, and Behance. For a more in-depth look at my design process, let's chat.

Portfolio Style Guide
As a documentation nerd, I thought it would not only be fun to showcase the assets that help make this portfolio possible, but also be helpful to do a design inventory and build more efficient design patterns.
How was this portolio designed and developed?
Like any designer, my portfolio is really never finished and is in a constant state of having the code reworked. I put together this portfolio using Pug (HTML), SCSS (CSS), a little bit of Javascript, and help from the following front-end resources:
Keyboard Shortcuts:
d: Toggle dark mode
g: Toggle grid overlay
Slack it up!
I use Slack on a daily basis and thought it would be fun to quickly map the theme colors of my portfolio to Slack's predefined utility variables. If you're like me and like switching themes on a weekly basis, try one of these themes made from this portfolio's color theme(s):
Copy and paste these values to your Slack settings in the Sidebar Theme section:

How can I help?
If you have a dope side project idea or want to trade project/portfolio feedback, I'd love to help out in any way I can. I probably won't always have answers, but I think I can be a helpful listener to bounce questions back and forth. If you have other design questions, that’s fine too!
If you're in the Tampa Bay area, I'd love to chat over coffee, tea, seltzer water, coke zero, whatever really ☕️ — let's chat!
If I don't reply right away, please follow up – sometimes things slip through the cracks! But I'll do my best to reply quickly.
