Folks have nice things to say

  • "Ryan is the ultimate, ego-free, team player. He is an optimistic and energetic creative, a multi-skilled contributor, and a hard worker. He earns trust by listening to all parties, treating everyone respectfully, and working tirelessly to find, or literally build, a solution that works for all. He consistently delivers results, despite often rushed timelines and limited inputs."

    Kate Harmer, Group Creative Director
    Amazon Prime
    2020

  • "Ryan is a true leader. He oversaw a successful Prime Day 2021 from start to finish, managing communications between the design, merchandising, copywriting and development teams. Ryan has a serious range of skills: from design, ui design, ux design to proper project management which I found quite impressive!"

    Annual Review, Peer Feedback
    2022

  • "Ryan not only has an extremely high bar for developing impactful creative that has elevated Luna’s brand expression to a new level, but also a unique skill to drive efficiencies through implementing processes and leveraging other Amazon teams to deliver a high volume of creative output. This combination has allowed him to scale his impact to an incredible effect."

    Brian Caffarello, Brand Marketing Manager
    Amazon Luna
    2022

  • "Ryan understands complex problems and he can clearly articulate back to others within the team/BPs what his understanding of the complex challenge is and always nails it on the head. Furthermore, he has the ability to take these challenges and come up with top of the line solutions under extreme pressure."

    Annual Review, Peer Feedback
    2019

  • "Ryan's super power is his unique set of ... super powers. That unusual mix of creativity, design talent, tools skills, technical knowledge and pretty much boundless enthusiasm make him a formidable talent. He is always curious to learn and collaborate, always looking to improve his work and to make everyone else's easier. No wonder Ryan is so often requested by partner teams."

    Dan Fuller, Design Manager
    Global Prime Experience
    2019

  • "Ryan doesn't just deliver (all of the time), but has the ability to unearth issues that have not been thought of when working back from the customer. Because of this attention to detail and ability to collaborate easily with others, he raises the caliber of work from the marketing team and stakeholders (UX/CXL)."

    Annual Review, Peer Feedback

  • "Everyone here talks about how Ryan is a man of many skills, a jack of all trades. This is true and I won't belabor the point. I'd rather talk about how he is ALWAYS up to help. Even if he's not allocated to a particular team, he still pitches in constantly--helping develop a graphic concept, giving feedback on text or images, shooting a photograph, suggesting edits to copy that really make it shine, finding new ways to make gold out of straw. We worked together closely for several months and I have never, ever heard him say to me or anyone else, "I'm sorry, I can't help you and I have no ideas." That's the kind of guy you want on your team."

    Heather Young, Senior Copywriter

  • "Ryan is an amazing team player and is one of the most adaptive co-workers I have known. He is always on the hunt for new ways to make the process more efficient and maintain its highest standard. He truly is a valuable asset for any team he is on."

    Annual Review, Peer Feedback
    2022

  • Ryan is not only an amazing partner, but he constantly goes above and beyond my expectations to drive simplification of tool-sets, consistency across Amazon's global footprint, and new, inventive ideas to interest customers. Ryan delivered ease of creation by identify key templates needed for HVEs globally, developing mechanisms to enable marketers to understand CX, and stellar stakeholder support (as always.)

    Annual Review, Peer Feedback
    2021

  • "Ryan is an absolute powerhouse of a designer, and more importantly, an indispensable thinker. Everything he touches ends up being 200% better than I ever dreamed, and his boundless enthusiasm and determination are positively infectious. Ryan's commitment to excellence and team cohesion make him an outstanding creative leader, coworker, and a high-octane addition to any team. "
