ABOUT RYAN RIVARD

Creative Producer. Problem-Solver. Collaborator.I’m a producer with over a decade of experience working across branded, narrative, and documentary projects. I’ve led shoots across the country and collaborated with agencies and clients like Netflix, Walmart, PayPal, Mount Sinai, HSBC, Hasbro, American Express, National Parks Service, Student Conservation Association, and Columbia University.I approach each project with calm focus, a collaborative spirit, and a belief that the best work happens between structure and spontaneity. Whether it’s shaping creative in pre-production or troubleshooting in post, I’m invested in clear communication, thoughtful leadership, and helping teams do their best work.Outside of client projects, I’m always building something personal: short films, music-driven visuals, or documentary ideas that keep me creatively sharp. Ask me what I’m working on.Lately, I’ve been exploring how AI will reshape creative production, not as a replacement, but as a tool to support the human side of storytelling. Right now, I’m working on a series of short videos from a recent trip to Utah and a documentary about a metal band. Two very different projects that let me play with tone, form, and texture in new ways.
