In My Own Words
My name is Ryan Davis, I was born and raised in Calgary Alberta Canada. I graduated from the Alberta College of Art and Design in 2007, after graduating I moved to Southern California where I received a job with Fourstar Distribution working as a designer for Circa Footwear. After spending 3 years in Costa Mesa working with some inspiring people I decided to transcend north. While traveling north in 2010 I interviewed and received a job at Nemo Design in Portland Oregon working as an Art Director for a number of leading outdoor industry brands. Portland is where I called home and spent the last 10 years honing my craft and love for design at one of the best agencies on the west coast. After Portland, I took a year to travel to Patagonia by motorcycle, Covid forced me back to Canada where I have a studio freelancing for a lot the same people I worked with alongside in Portland. Feel free to email or call if you have any questions or would like to learn more about myself.
