Ryan Murray
THE DESIGNER

Ryan Murray

Igrew up on a farm where long days in the sun, callused hands, built my work ethic and grit, and while I’ve traded acres of gardening (which grew my affinity for technology,) for digital design, a part of my heart still hums for those slower days driving an old truck, windows down, and feeling the wind in my face. I’m a product designer at heart, who loves to build and create things digitally and physically.

At my core, I have the privilege to be a husband and father to a loving family who i’d move mountains for, as cliche as that sounds. Everyday is a new challenge, problem to solve or a moment to sit and smell the roses. Something I always say to myself is “Everything is just math.” and to me, that has held true so far.
