Born in Portland, a childhood in Germany - I became obsessed with adventure from a young age. That need for new experiences translated to my passion for action sports, becoming a pro downhill mountain biker by 20. It was the love of sport that led me to design. What started as the narrow scope of action sports, quickly grew to a passion for the unknown, and curiosity towards the relationships that we have with our physical environment.
As a designer today, I love anticipating trends, using them as a fuel to shape what will come next. Distilling these discoveries and sharing these insights within a collaborative team setting, I'm driven to bring unique experiences to everyone.
My name is Ryan Van Noy, and I step confidently into the unknown.
