  Ryan is an excellent designer and an even better coworker! As part of the Brand/Content team, we collaborate on everything together — from written/print collateral such as ebooks and white papers, to social media/ad graphics, to everything in between.

  Ryan has an eye for design and has created stunning visuals for HqO, including a significant part of our company rebrand, the HqO website, and our company graphics and visual standards. His style is modern and chic, while also sophisticated enough to portray company messaging in a strategic and compelling manner.

  Additionally, he can juggle a plethora of different projects at once, even as a one-person design team (including ones on short deadlines). Nevertheless, he still comes into work every day with a positive attitude and an eagerness to help his teammates. He’s beyond proven himself an excellent asset to ANY team, and definitely knows how to foster and lead a brand to success. I would recommend Ryan anywhere, and would gladly work with him again in the future!

  He has truly made my time at HqO such a pleasant experience, and our Marketing department would not be the same without his guidance and ownership.

  I worked with Ryan at HqO and got to see first-hand how his talent as a designer manifests. He has a sharp eye for quality, and a mind keyed towards accessibility and usability--which is to say his work is stunning without putting it out of reach. This is not an easy task, and one which is critical to any successful organization.

  More than that, Ryan is a good human. He's friendly, fun to talk with, and passionate. He cares, and it shows.

  I'd be delighted to have the opportunity to work with him again, and I know any organization would find him a key member of their design team.

  Ryan assisted me with the basics to web design class at Central Connecticut State University. The class sizes were large and he provided an invaluable support system to make sure all of the students were being helped with design issues. His knowledge has continued to grow since I had him as a student and he was able to consistently translate that knowledge to the designers in the class. Ryan has a pleasant demeanor and good deal of patience, which will make him successful in design as well as the field of teaching.
