Since the start of my career in branding and marketing, I’ve taken a hands-on, highly creative approach to building impactful experiences. My journey began with self-taught design skills and quickly evolved into a robust expertise across experiential marketing, brand strategy, and creative leadership. Over the years, I’ve partnered with brands across diverse industries—including lifestyle, health & wellness, technology, and consumer goods—to craft unique identities and drive growth through innovative solutions.
Currently, I lead creative strategy for an award-winning experiential marketing agency, where I oversee the development and execution of integrated campaigns, collaborate with production and fabrication teams, and mentor a dynamic cross-functional team to ensure excellence across all mediums. My role extends beyond execution to forging strong client relationships, transforming challenges into creative opportunities, and helping businesses unlock their brand’s full potential.
From developing immersive marketing activations to building standout product launches and influencer campaigns, I thrive in cultivating ideas into reality. Outside of work, I channel my creativity into personal projects like photography, set design, and designing custom stationery inspired by pop culture.
Fun fact? My 90’s country playlist is the soundtrack to my brainstorming sessions, and my very red hair is hard to miss. Life is colorful, and so is my work.
Ryan Flynn is one of the most intuitive, soulful, and intentional designers I have ever met. Her ability to identify the client’s desired end result, even when they don’t know how to articulate it, is truly remarkable. Aside from her own work, Ryan is experienced in guiding a team of creatives to aesthetic and cohesive excellence. She is truly a joy to work with in every way, and I will be recommending her for as long as she is accepting new clients.
Working with Ryan has been a great experience because she takes the time to understand your task or whatever task you give her. She is great at custom fitting your request to you or your company’s personality and will tackle almost anything laid out in front of her. She has this old school work ethic that quite frankly is missing from a lot of graduates and interns alike and I would have no problem hiring her for very complicated and timely assignments. And I will.
Ryan approaches every project/idea with an enthusiasm that is innate to her personality. And that is something that is rare to find. She uses intuition with her clients and relies on her communication skills to ask questions. As the Creative Director at Elevate United, she huddled a team of artists together and delivered with every single project that was thrown her way. The ease with which she handles enormous tasks says a lot about her capabilities in producing work that exceeds expectations every time. And on top of all of that, she is the most fun person you will ever work with.
