Ryan brings previous experience working on creative office interiors and residential projects across the globe. His strengths lie in thoughtful conceptual approaches to new projects, visual design skills, forming strong collaborations, and attention to small details. His experience working on location with local teams in Helsinki, Tokyo, Seoul, and Portland has imbued in him a passion for adapting the design process to the values of local cultures, and a sensitivity to a project’s unique, multi-faceted sense of place.

Originally from Austin, Texas, Ryan graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Architecture. After school, he relocated to Portland, working at small, boutique architecture practices, allowing him to work in a variety of aspects of design, including architecture, interiors, environmental graphics, and product design.

Outside of Jones, Ryan enjoys seeing live music in Portland, traveling to new destinations in Oregon, and keeping himself occupied with creative projects, including recently producing a line of home goods and a personal photography book.
