Hi, I’m Ryan. I design & build websites that are actually good.

ShootWith.Me is an innovative startup for photographers that connects studios with other photographers who can support their photo shoots. As part of the team building this, I helped with initial strategy, as well as UX, UI and development.

The biggest challenge was how to create a workflow that turned the disorganized process of finding a second shooter into a smooth and efficient workflow. I solved this problem by introducing a timed job queue, where the hiring photographer ranks their choices and then the job is presented sequentially and confidentially in that order. Once this was solved we continued to build out the platform with portfolios, messaging, reviews and more. The platform continues to grow as more photographers discover how it can transform the way they hire and get hired.

Connected Investors, owned by First American, needed help reimagining and relaunching their entire brand and digital products. As part of the team working on this, I took the lead on the front-end development for the marketing site, as well as contributed to the UX and UI for the application, helping to establish and use design systems and components.

Cigent Technology needed a new website to showcase their growing data security contracts. As the lead UX/UI Designer on the project, I created a site that addressed the various stakeholders' and audiences' needs. Presenting extremely technical information in a way that is still readable is always a challenge, but I was able to do it in a concise and aesthetically pleasing way.

On this project I was responsible for handling the UX design, after which I handed it over to another designer for UI. Then, I picked it back up again and did the entirety of the Front End and Wordpress development.

The main success here was crafting a UX that showcases the various solutions Saliense provides, as well as developing an efficient and performant website that the client could manage going forward

Tasked with completely re-vamping Sayari's web presence, I worked as part of a small team building a design system and library that we used to create a dynamic, usable, and aesthetically excellent website. Taking the vast amount of information they had and focusing it into their core messages and offerings allowed us to build something that was highly optimized to meet their business goals, as well as look good while doing it.
