My name is Ryan. I'm currently a student at San Francisco State University. My major is Industrial Design with a concentration in product design & development.
A little about me. I love watching new and old cartoons. For as long as I remember, I love drawing cartoons as well. At a young age, I attended the Cartoon Art Museum for morning classes that discussed animation, flip-books, and character development. I've had one of my comic strips in the De Young Museum at age ten. I enjoy playing video games in my free time with friends, biking, and driving.
I draw inspiration from nature, life experiences, and artists that are able to communicate their emotions and imagination through the creative industry.
I'm strongly influenced by comics, fictional characters, and works by Salvador Dali, Alfons Mucha, and Greg Simkins. My personal art works draw inspiration from Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Although, they're different styles, I find a balance between the styles.
I began my industrial design career in hopes of creating three dimensional objects from my imagination. I hope it leads me to a career in optical development. One of my dream jobs is working for Oakley, a company that specializes in extreme optical gear and sunglasses. I would love to share my visions with the world, not just by telling them, but also by showing them.
If I am able to sum up myself in one picture... Here you Go!
