Thank you for viewing my work. Here is a brief story about me.
My name is Ryan. I am from New Jersey. I graduated with a BFA in industrial design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2021.
I am a self-taught 3D artist who started the journey into digital art through technical CAD software such as SolidWorks and Fusion 360.
You will usually find me deep in the viewport of Blender, making something new for the enjoyment of creating and sharing unique visuals.
I started my education experience at my local community college, studying graphic design and various art-and-design-related courses.
I have always felt technically-inclined in my pursuit of creativity, so I decided to transfer to an art school to study industrial design.
During my studies, I found myself surrounded and involved with many passionate colleagues and worked on an incredible plethora of projects.
I learned research methods, design processes, team-based project development, technical drawing, CAD modeling, product design, and much more.
I found myself developing conceptual products and services around topics such as regenerative ocean farming with incredibly creative colleagues.
My thesis project was the development of a service that aims to support and uphold a family’s bond with a loved one experiencing dementia.
I continued to pursue a more technical side of my industrial design background after graduating in May of 2021, spending a few months job-hunting.
I was hired as a research and development engineer at a prosthetics device manufacturer in November of 2021, where I am currently employed.
I was brought in to the company to found the research and development department of the company, beginning from the ground up.
I used my critical thinking and leadership skills to create and improve manufacturing processes, including the use of a 7-axis CNC carver robot.
At my job, I am driven to create meaningful products for amputees through the utilization of the skills, methods, and processes I learned in Boston.
My day-to-day responsibilities include all aspects of designing and fabricating custom products for amputees based on their clinicians’ prescription.
In my free time, I take on creative projects that give me the opportunity to express creative direction in many different abstract and artful spaces.
I have created music videos, video game assets, product models, advertisements, and personal artwork outside of my education and profession.
I love to create things that are meaningful to others. I enjoy creating things that I can share with others. I will always be making something somewhere.
