About Ryan Wi

Advertising creative with an experience on Apple, JetBlue, Lowe\'s, Schick, Smirnoff, and Johnson & Johnson among many things through both traditional and non-traditional media in both U.S. and International markets. My dad\'s a diplomat.which is why I was born in Jamaica. My mom\'s an artist, but I can\'t say for sure that\'s the reason I\'m an art director. I Learned english in Switzerland, finished Korean elementary school in Russia, middle school in Korea, high school in Virginia, and college in New York. Served as a translator during the mandatory military service, and I love soccer. Once moderated the biggest online soccer forum for years since high school, and no I\'m not Jamaican. Can\'t say for myself how these add up to anything, but they\'re all still part of me. Hope they come together some day.Specialties: Trying to come up with some ideas, talking about soccer, talking about cultural stuff, and eating things.
