Howdy!

I'm Ryan Cross.  Here's my story:

I'm a Washington State native, and I've been an artist since I was old enough to be trusted with crayons and pencils.  I started out tracing my favorite saturday morning cartoons, then worked my way to sketching fictional NBA team logos - unknowingly discovering my calling in Graphic Design.  I continued drawing/painting throughout my academic years.

After graduation I enrolled at the Art Institute of Seattle, majoring in Graphic Design and earning a Bachelors in Fine Arts.  Seattle was a great place for me to sink my teeth into the industry and hone my creativity into a design process, but my love for the Great Outdoors and reputation as a "country boy" led me to Wenatchee, WA.  I currently work at Blind Renaissance Design, as a print / web designer.

The Wenatchee Valley is truly beautiful region year round, and offers a variety of adventures to those who seek them.  The fact that I can leave the office and still make it to the shooting range or trout pond for a few hours of downtime is what I love most about my day. Making a living by being creative and living in an area surrounded by the Great Outdoors - I couldn't ask for a better life!

That's my story in a nutshell.  Enough about me, have you seen my portfolio yet?

Okay, how bout what I do at work? 

Still here?  Feel free to like drop a note on my blog, or contact me if you have a project in mind. 

Need something else to do?  Try letting go of the mouse, going outside and getting some fresh air - the best moments in life are waiting for you, just past where the pavement ends!
