SKILLS
ABOUT RYAN RICHMOND
I love what I do, and I would love to begin broadening my horizons; I truly believe that, no matter what background or \"training\" an artist or designer possesses, he or she can transcend titles and barriers simply by maintaining a solid foundation of creative problem solving skills and the determination to succeed. If a problem is approached with an it-can-be-solved attitude, the path leading to the answer can be undefined. Hands-on and highly visual would describe me best; I\'m always seeking out projects that allow me to build, three dimensionally, in a wide array of materials. From clothing design and construction, to visual merchandising, nothing excites me more than being given a problem and having the ability to use whatever means possible to tell a story, or create a beautiful solution. I\'m skilled in sewing, illustrating, and articulating an idea, but more importantly, I\'m passionate about seeing an idea grow from imaginational figment into an amazing, tangible product; it\'s crazy to think about all of the things we can accomplish, if we only dream big and live bigger. I would love to network with you, and the opportunity to be challenged in new, exciting ways!
