Actual Biography

Ryan Eanes has what can perhaps be described as an "overly healthy" interest in many divergent subjects, thanks in no small part to his background in the liberal arts. An experienced designer for the web specializing in usability, Ryan is also an experienced video editor.  He also has interests in print & logo design, corporate identity, new media and communication theory.  Currently Ryan works full-time as the design and usability director for Bill Me, Inc. in Manhattan, and he teaches web design at Manhattan College in Riverdale, New York as an adjunct instructor in the Department of Communication.

Ryan graduated from Wake Forest University in 2003, where he earned a BA in Communication. He minored in Studio Art (specifically focused on photography and digital design), and filled the gaps in his schedule with psychology courses, graduating one course shy of a second minor in psychology. Ryan also holds a master's degree in Media Studies from The New School; he graduated from the program in 2008.   His thesis, "From Stove to Screen," is a cultural history of food-focused television programs.

Ryan is the occasional author of critical articles concerning design and media. Not all of Ryan's writing is scholarly (or even serious at all), as he also writes essays that could generously be described as "kind of humorous." Ryan occasionally collaborates with his close high school friend William Veazey on various television and film treatments and screenplays, including the full-length screenplay for the (as yet unproduced) sci-fi comedy "Trailer Park in Space."

Ryan's personal hero is Piet Mondrian, and his favorite typeface waffles between Adobe Caslon Pro, Gotham and Avenir. His iPod contains everything from Erasure to David Bowie to Justin Timberlake. He enjoys cooking, watching far too much TV, doing "touristy" things, drinking alarming amounts of Diet Coke, and taking photographs. In his free time, Ryan accidentally breaks things, inadvertently injures himself, makes messes, and takes naps.
