Hey there, I’m Ryan Gruenwald, your resident left-handed Creative Director straight out of the Motor City. I’ve collected more passport stamps than a hardcore band has tattoos, living in places like Germany and Turkey where l’ve learned that creativity knows no borders-just like a good metalcore breakdown. When I’m not crafting designs that could make Picasso do a double-take, you’ll find me headbanging to metalcore beats or sipping on craft beers faster than you can say “IPA.” Let’s raise a glass to breaking the mold, one riff and one pixel at a time!

My Story
As an ARMY brat, I spent the first 4 years of my life living in Germany, soaking in the culture and falling in love with travel. I have early memories of visiting the Netherlands, checking out the local bakeries in my town, and hiking mountains in Austria. This taught me to appreciate other cultures and ways of living, but most importantly, to appreciate the sights and sounds. Since I am an aficionado of all things visual, it is my passion in life to create appealing, meaningful work, and make the world a more beautiful place.
Having worked in the marketing and promotions industry for over 10 years, I have a vast knowledge of consumer behaviors, what makes for an eye-catching design, and what leaves a lasting impact. If you have an idea, let’s make it come to life!
