Ryan Hamrick is a multi-discipline artist & designer living and working in Austin, Texas
For over a decade, I have been designing strong identities, crafting hand-lettered commercial artwork, teaching others how to do the same, and speaking about working in the design industry and living a creative life.
As a father of two and husband of one without any formal training or a typical path to a creative career, I’m endlessly surprised and thankful to have one.
Through self-educating to a level of mastery in typography and design, I learned what I needed to know to build an independent design studio crafting innovative creative work for numerous Fortune 100 companies and small, scrappy startups alike in less than ten years—all from home while raising two young kids.
I've advised leaders at world-moving companies, sold them on my work and ideas, and sold them on the expertise that my dedication and broad scope of experience has afforded me. I've led teams and mentored countless creative professionals not only in executing project tasks for clients, but in their own independent careers as well—a role and responsibility I've come to value second to very few others I've had the pleasure of holding in my career thus far.
