Ryan Wood

Designer · Austin, TX

Hello again.

I design across UX, brand, and web with a research-first approach. Currently at Studio Brownstone.

"The good is the beautiful."Plato

I'm a designer based in Austin. I've done contract work at Huge and picked up a Graphis Gold along the way. Right now I'm at Studio Brownstone, an interior design firm, building websites and 3D models alongside the brand work. It's an unusual mix, and I like it that way.

My process starts with research. Interviews, usability testing, digging through data until the actual problem becomes clear.

On the side, I take on freelance work: websites and logos. Get in touch if you have something in mind.

Outside of design, here's what actually makes me tick.
