Do Stuff. Make Thangs. Have Fun

Hey I'm Josh Ryan! I'm a designer and illustrator based out of Houston, Texas. I specialize in creating products and visuals that connect people through shared experience, emotional connection, and quirky humor. My work has been featured on HuffPost, Forbes.com, Houstonia Magazine, the Houston Chronicle, and my mom's refrigerator.

I'm probably best known for my slightly absurd side-projects like:

• Introflirted: Fun and flirty love notes for introverts
• Cool Pop Pop Art: Notable people drawn as cool popsicles
• Is It A Hot One: The world's smoothest weather website

I got my first taste of design in the early 2000's by designing flyers for my high school emo band and although that band went nowhere, my design skills went a bit further and I've been designing professionally since 2011.

I've worked with companies such as Saint Arnold Brewing Company, 8th Wonder Brewery, and AIGA Austin to create physical products that engage, entertain, and build connections with their target audience.
