A Chicagoland native, Ryan’s passion for graphic design started at an early age when he studied and re-created professional sports team logos. After earning his Bachelor’s from Columbia College Chicago, Ryan designed print stationery for 8 years before joining Kehoe Designs. When he’s not creating incredible large-scale graphics, you’ll probably find him searching far and wide for new coffee shops!
