My name is Ryan Collette and I'm a freelance graphic designer / web designer, and creator of Ryco Design. From web design to printed brochures and logos, I provide creative solutions for every media. On this website you will find my graphic design portfolio, full of selected work in both print and web media, including print design, web design, logo design, branding, advertising & more.
About Me
Originally from Randolph, Vermont, I now reside in New Hampshire's Upper Valley where I am currently working full time as Creative Director at The Tecnica Group in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. As Creative Director, I am responsible for the design and art direction of print and interactive media for three outdoor sporting good companies: Tecnica USA (Ski Boots), Blizzard Sport USA (Skis), and Rollerblade (Inline Skates). Every day brings new challenges and opportunities, and it is a pleasure to work alongside such talented Marketing Directors and Sales Associates in all three of these exceptional brands. Although this is a full time job, I still manage to do freelance design on the side. I'm passionate about design, and I try to do as much freelance design work as possible in my spare time.
Education
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a concentration in Graphic Design, from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. It was in Plattsburgh where my artistic skills grew and shifted from Fine Arts to Computer Arts. Once an avid painter and drawer, I shifted my talents in the last two years of academics towards a more modern and technical media. Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign come naturally to me and I now find myself in front of a computer, using and expanding on my design skills, for hours on end everyday.
Background
It's hard to be a good designer. It takes passion, inspiration, time and non-stop research. When it comes to design, I am:
- Passionate
- Driven
- Creative
- Experienced
When I'm not looking at a computer screen you will find me spending time with my beautiful Fiancée and our furry, four-legged baby. I enjoy spending any other down time I have with friends and family, traveling, or just taking some time to relax.
