About Katie Ryan

I connect the dots in brand and livery work by collaborating with multidisciplinary design teams, while balancing client expectations and key milestones. I have partnered with aerospace industry leaders like Boeing, Alaska Airlines, Qantas Airways and WestJet helping bring their brand to life on physical products. I lead a team of designers that have built careers specializing in creating branded experiences for airlines around the world. In my 15-year career, I have developed skills that empower solution-based thinking when planning design strategy and paint execution for aircrafts and space vehicles. I am enthusiastic about leading our growing teams into the future of passenger experience and mobility While my design opportunities are limited to airlines for my full time job, I also enjoy taking on design projects that are not aviation specific.
