HELLO!

I'm Ryan. 

I do a lot of things.

This is my place (finally!) to bring them all together.

I'm a designer who works primarily in pageantry--in other words, marching band, color guard, and their various sister activities. Pageantry is a wonderful blend of music and motion; for an artist who loves music as much as the visual arts, it's practically heaven. I'm lucky; I do work on both sides of the equation.

Take a look at what I can do for you!

As a visual designer,

• I plan and create custom drill designs for marching bands, indoor drumlines and wind ensembles, and color guards.
• I choreograph phrases of dance and movement to enhance the performances.
• I work as a program coordinator to clarify and elevate the creative standards and entertainment value of my client groups.

I also have graphic design and traditional media skills, which augment the above in the creation of uniforms, props, floor tarps, and flags.

As a music designer,

• I pace out and arrange chosen source music to fit the creative and logistical demands of ensembles of any size.
• I compose original music.
• I create electronic soundscapes and samples to enhance the aesthetic of the musical program.
• I edit and create soundtracks for color guards and dance ensembles.
