ABOUT ME.
Hi! I’m Ryann, an Indianapolis-based designer by day, Mexican cuisine enthusiast by night and eccentric collector of all things odd and vintage in-between.
For the last thirteen years, I have focused on brick and mortar visual merchandising communication, strategy and styling in a vast range of industries including:
• athletic footwear and sports fashion
• outdoor sporting goods and apparel (influencer of the “lumbersexual” trend)
• women’s luggage, handbag, and fashion accessories
All while obtaining a large number of random facts via podcasts and trying to achieve a red lip sans looking like The Joker.
As a trained visual communicator, my professional expertise lies in creating easy to process training documents and enticing customer experiences. To do this, I leverage my design skills, natural curiosity, stellar work ethic, obsession with organization, and love for problem-solving with my ability to build cross-functional relationships, analyze complex logistics to build processes, and a burning desire for continuous improvement.
The following are key strengths that I possess for success: exceptional contributions to customer service, strive for continued excellence, strong communication skills,
and an eagerness to learn new things while promoting self-growth and expression through creativity.
Check out my portfolio and let’s connect!
