My creative career began when a happy young Ryan made an absolute garbage lightsaber battle of my little brothers chasing each other with whiffle ball bats in the backyard with a copy of After Effects. It was proudly shared with all my friends and family, since then there was no going back. I've kept creating ever since.

I studied Computer Science at the University of British Columbia and later on Computer Animation at Pratt Institute, after which I interned at Nickelodeon. Since then, I've worked as a freelance animator in New York at different advertising studios before moving to Montreal to join Framestore and ON Animation, then settling in Los Angeles. I've had the pleasure of working with some lovely clients such as Adobe, Meta, HBO, BBC, Warner Brothers, Netflix, and Disney. In March 2022, I started at DreamWorks Animation where I work full-time as a Technical Director supporting shows and building new tools to enhance the pipeline.
