Ryan O. Rock

have a bachelor’s degree from Pratt Institute School of Art and Design. I am proficient in many design applications, such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have been a showing artist since I was fifteen. My work experience has been primarily in the footwear and fashion industries, a career which I would like to continue pursuing. However, I also art directed and managed a housewares brand overseeing 10 or more employees. I oversaw everything from brand identity and PR strategies to product design and production as well as hiring and recruiting. I also ran our trade show presence and subsequent design and production of all necessary assets for said trade shows.

I have also built installations for companies, such as Absolute Vodka, Macy’s, Frisky, Heatherette, Robin Hood and Google. I have also designed booths and worked at trade shows for multiple brands of footwear.

My passion is design and branding. I have worked for a variety of brands and have a broad understanding of the different needs of various divisions in the fashion and footwear industries as pertain to trending and product development. I understand how heritage has to be implemented to fulfill the distinct needs of production, sales, catalogs, trade shows, advertising and web applications, while maintaining a cohesive brand image and feel. I also have a large network of contacts in various fields of art and music, so I am able to find people to work on projects within a tight budget should the need arise. My network includes facilities for studio space for photo shoots, press contacts, fabrication outlets for booths, and installations for promotional events.

Please considering me as a candidate for any jobs in any location. Please feel free to contact me by telephone or email me.

Respectfully yours,

Ryan O. Rock
