Hello, I'm Ryan!

I'm a product designer who works at the intersection of engineering, product design, and visual communication to build user-centered solutions across both digital and physical products.

I recently earned my B.S. in Manufacturing & Design Engineering (MaDE) from Northwestern University, with minors in Computer Science and Art, Theory & Practice.

These are the projects where I put design thinking into practice, from research and ideation to prototyping and testing.

Whether it's exploring my love for music or producing art in many forms, my visual work and personal projects reflect how I think about design.

About Me

I graduated from Northwestern University with a B.S. in Manufacturing & Design Engineering (MaDE), where I developed a multidisciplinary approach that blends systems thinking, hands-on prototyping, and creative problem-solving to design products that adress real human needs.

With minors in Computer Science and Art, Theory & Practice, I work at the intersection of engineering, product design, and visual communication. I bring both creative thinking and engineering rigor to every project. Whether I'm conducting user research, developing a product, or designing digital experiences, my goal is to create thoughtful, user-centered solutions that are both functional and meaningful.

I'm from Queens, the best borough in New York City. To unwind, I enjoy listening to a wide range of music and painting my favorite album covers. I'm also a passionate Mets fan and an amateur chef who loves experimenting in the kitchen.
