Hi, I'm Ryan!
I'm a designer based in Los Angeles, California. I live near a beautiful park with my partner and two itinerant cats. I'm a Senior Principal UX Designer at Pegasystems and Brioche at my indie game studio, Thoughtful Bread.
I have over 13 years experience conceptualizing, designing and implementing solutions to complex business problems. I follow projects from the research process to implementation & testing, and have fluency in the product spectrum to ensure there aren't any loose ends. I've worked in both small and large teams, and I know how to make things happen in both ends of the spectrum.
If you'd like to contact me, you can email me or reach out to me on LinkedIn!

Thoughtful Bread
I am a co-founder in my partner's independent game studio, Thoughtful Bread! We're just under half a dozen Los Angeles-based creatives working in different industries but united in our love of crafting compelling, inclusive experiences with spectacular stories and fun gameplay!
Our first title, The Witch and the Crow, is in active development. It's an adventure / visual novel game where you play as an outcast witch whose quiet life is upended by the arrival of talking Crow that claims to be a human.
Fan Creations
I used to create fan music videos, some of which won awards and were shown to audiences of thousands. Some of the trademarks of the style I developed are visual collage by layering textures/masks/color mattes, desaturated color grading, soft vignetting, 3D camera usage with rotation, unique 'in-scene' transitions, and lots and lots of symbolism.
