Ryan Cuthriell
Art Director/Designer
Someday, a rock and roll band that needs a helpin’ hand will seduce Ryan away from professional design. But until then, this third-generation artist will keep filling sketchpads and clients’ portfolios with his philosophy of “more.” Ryan – a former interactive director for the AIGA Raleigh chapter – has a particular way with typography and layout, complemented by branding, web design and print production chops honed in previous work with a number of respected North Carolina agencies. His print, web and identity work has netted him American Design, Pixel Perfect Portfolio and multiple Addy awards, and was recently featured in the How International Design Annual. An East Carolina University graduate, Ryan also enjoys playing the guitar, cooking, or just spending time outdoors.
