Ryan Reynolds is NOT a chimichanga-eating vigilante, an incredibly charming cell phone salesman, or the part-owner of a Welsh soccer club.

Sure, one Ryan Reynolds might be all those things, but this Ryan Reynolds is a hybrid creative—a second-generation ad pro with a knack for crafting bold ideas that make clients sit up and say, “DAMN!”

Born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas, I grew up watching my dad work in advertising. By day, he was at Tracy Locke; by night, he was banning games on our home computer, insisting I learn Photoshop and Illustrator before I’d even lost my baby teeth. Those early lessons shaped my foundation in design and storytelling, sparking a lifelong love for creative problem-solving.

Over the years, my role expanded naturally from visuals to words. Collaborating with talented writers and leading creative teams taught me the ins and outs of messaging strategy. Before long, I was writing scripts, crafting headlines, and refining brand voices alongside designing. Today, I thrive at the intersection of art direction and copywriting—blending visuals and messaging to create work that connects, inspires, and gets results.

My storytelling roots run deep, too. Growing up in theater—both on stage and behind the scenes—gave me a feel for storytelling and performance. Combine that with my background in voice acting, and you’ve got someone who knows how to make copy flow and resonate with audiences. And hey, it certainly doesn’t hurt when I’m presenting to clients!

After college, I wasn’t sure what was next. But I remembered the skills my dad had passed down, so I built a spec portfolio from scratch and landed my first design job—bluffing my way into the industry. Years later, I’ve built a career doing what I love: blending strategy, creativity, and messaging to create campaigns that stand out.

Now I call Colorado home—a dream I’ve had since I was six, thanks to a childhood obsession with Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (and Jane Seymour, obviously). When I’m not working on incredible projects, you’ll find me in the mountains or thanking my dad for making me ditch The Sims in favor of Creative Suite.
