My name is Ryan Dowling. I am a multifaceted product designer based in Boston, MA.

I recently graduated from Skidmore College, earning a Bachelor of Science in Management and Business with a minor in Communication Design. As I enter my next chapter, I am eager to merge my interests in user-centered design, business strategy, and psychology into a career as a product designer.

After completing my education, I immediately applied my coaching, analytical, and creative skills to co-found and serve as the Lead Product Designer for Brainwrite.io, a team ideation platform. In this role, I lead the design of an accessible, visually engaging user interface, facilitate cross-functional collaboration between designers and developers, and conduct in-depth market analysis to identify key user needs and preferences.

Beyond my academic pursuits and career development in product design, I work primarily as a music producer and creative director under the name ‘ry flora.’ I embrace the idea that every facet of life is creativity in motion, from crafting user experiences to curating a nourishing lifestyle.
