I’m Ryan, a teacher and product designer from Durham.

You must be excited about what you create and even sell. I want to help you discover those products that you're motivated to make.

My advice is to fall in love with failure. Creating your dream product, art business, or lifestyle is more about taking more risks than focusing on your skills. It’s more about believing in yourself and making enough income to concentrate on alignment and purpose first, not settling with quiet desperation and boredom. So, my agenda is to help creators align with their passion using excitement and adventure as guides.

I have a B.S. in Engineering and a Masters in Design. I was blessed to teach at NC State’s College of Design. I’m an artist, inventor, maker, and girl dad, and I love music and coffee. Contact or call 919-807-1158.
