NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Ryan, an independent brand strategist and writer. My career as a word guy began in elementary school with my 1998 work "The Case of the Killer Corn," a harrowing crime drama about human-sized corn cobs investigating an unsolved murder. Fortunately, my career developed from there.

Over the past 10+ years, I've helped brands of all sizes develop unique strategies to grow, and then translate those strategies into messaging that builds emotional connections with their audience. Whether working with brands directly, supporting agencies, or writing vegetable-based novellas, I've always held one belief close: that stories have the power to color our life with meaning.

Now imagine how transformative your brand could be with the right story behind it.
