Our creative team plays a large role in the work we do. From designing websites to logos to publications, they do it all. This month our graphic designer, Ryan Kidd, is celebrating his one-year work anniversary. To celebrate, we put him in the spotlight by asking him questions to get to know him a little better.
What are your hobbies?
Ryan: I enjoy hiking, biking, paddle boarding and playing video games. Technology interests me, so I’m a fan of tinkering with and building computers!
Why did you decide to become a graphic designer?
Ryan: My dad was a web designer, so I had access to software to mess around with in high school. I started learning some of the software early on, and after taking a graphic design class in high school, I realized it was something I wanted to pursue further.
What is your favorite movie?
Ryan: Interstellar, hands down. It makes you think, even after the movie is over.
What aspects of your job make you feel most accomplished?
Ryan: Getting a project right on the first attempt is always a good feeling! But I always feel accomplished when I get to learn new software or techniques that I can apply to future design work.
What is on your bucket list?
Ryan: Mostly travel destinations – I’d love to visit as many of the National Parks in the U.S. as possible.
What are your favorite design projects to work on?
Ryan: I’ve always enjoyed the logo creation process or doing small illustrations/icons for different projects. These types of projects have so many different possible approaches, and it is fun to explore the various routes that the illustrations or logos can take.
