I am Ryan Griffin.
I make things that move, shoot & edit film & video & can animate in 2D or 3D. I know the media design process for projects big & small, from branding a startup, to large-scale retail experience design. My graphic understanding, critical process & working methods have significant influence on my other areas of focus in different ways. I design sound, provide sound effects and soundscapes for use in commercials & film. I have made music under different aliases and focuses for myself, record labels & commercial clients.
I make, & build off the previous day & this process leads me to tomorrow. It's constantly active.
I specialize in design & direction. Some of the work I do & have done, is below.
