Ryan plays an integral part as a Design Professional II in our Beverly Hills office. Previously from Ferrier Architecture, he worked as a Project Design Lead and Project Manager for almost a decade. During his tenure at Ferrier he had the distinct honor to have won an AIA LA Residential Architecture Citation Award for one of his residential designs.
With Ryan’s extensive project experience – we are excited that he will be one of the few team members that work on both the hospitality team and residential teams. In addition to his passion for design and architecture, Ryan also brings with him an incredible culinary prowess. Having attended culinary school prior to getting his degree in design from California Polytechnic University – Pomona. Ryan credits his career in design to his high school CAD teacher who really nurtured his design bug with the freedom to explore design; as well as the use of technology to achieve his design goals. Additionally – Ryan’s inspiration comes from as he says “everything” – having realized that everything and anything can be an inspiration. However, people he specifically draws inspiration from are architects like Tadao Ando, Richard Meier, Renzo Piano, Jacques Herzog and Pierre De Meuron.
Ryan is currently working on several of the firm’s high-profile projects including two residences in California, and a large-scale hospitality project.
