Get to know me a bit
I'm Ryan — a Los Angeles-based product designer focused on solving complex problems through thoughtful, end-to-end design.
I work across the full product lifecycle, from understanding user needs and defining problems to shaping flows, systems, and interactions that reduce friction and create intuitive, effective experiences.
My background spans consumer products, growth-focused platforms, and enterprise software in the healthcare space. I've led and contributed to projects involving marketplace experiences, conversion-driven products, and data-heavy applications, with a focus on delivering measurable impact.
While my foundation is in interaction and visual design, I bring a systems-level perspective and a strong understanding of front-end implementation (HTML/CSS, Git, and modern frameworks). This helps me design with real-world constraints in mind and collaborate closely with engineering partners.
I'm most comfortable as an individual contributor, but regularly lead initiatives, mentor designers, and facilitate design discussions across teams.
If you're interested in viewing my work, feel free to reach out-I'm happy to share portfolio access and additional details.
When I'm not thinking about design, I'm still hovering in some sort of creative mindset. I have a long on/off history with a 3D art & animation, and create my own 3D printed and resin cast figures. I also enjoy being curled up on the couch with my iPad and Procreate, tinkering with wood and machinery in the garage, and taking afternoon naps. On top of that I enjoy visiting museums and art galleries, being around the ocean, am a fan of anything two-wheeled, and I love dogs (especially Pugs).
