Helping people create awesome products

Product design and consulting

Collaborate on your first product or iterate on an existing one. Consulting services if you already have a team that would like to chat.

Website and marketing jazz

All the website things; design, code, and hosting. Branding and illustration.

Start-ups and small businesses

Focused on smaller companies and individuals. I prefer a more intimate work relationship. Not doing any corporate work at the moment.

About me

Hi, I’m Ryan Snow. I’ve been doing product design for about 10 years.  Started my design career as a kid drawing comics and illustrating my dungeon and dragon campaigns.  I learned to program at around 11 years old. I made the best choose your own adventure games.  I was in a dance crew with my best friend.

Methods

I subscribe to no bullshit product design. I generally follow IDEO’s design thinking process.  At times I will run design sprints and I have a toolbox full of exercises to run depending on the situation.

Be curious

I believe keeping an open, curious mind is the most powerful tool a person has. Ideas are not meant to be defended or judged but to be explored and understood. 

People first

I believe in never losing sight of who is having the problem, what the problem is, and why we are solving it.

Everyone is involved

I believe a successful team includes design, product and engineering as equal parts that work together on all aspects.

Product Design - Past Client
Thoughtful and caring company trying to help students and instructors get more value out of their classes. They provide peer assessment tools (students grading each other) for higher education.

Worked with the founders, and a couple of super cool developers (Mike and Rodrigo) to build the MVP of the platform from the ground up.  Iterated on the platform for a couple years.
