Hello.

I'm Ryan Taylor, Group Creative Director.

These pages are always hard. I almost wrote a witty narrative of all the things I like that make me quirky and unique but there are enough of those already.

I work at BrightHouse, a creative consultancy that's been helping organizations articulate and activate their timeless Purpose long before it was on magazine covers and in everyone's LinkedIn bio.

Here's a picture of me. My long hair is my midlife criss. It's cheaper and safer than a motorcycle.

MY OFFICIAL COMPANY BIO

For PowerPoint decks and other sexy places.

Ryan’s mother still has no idea what he does for a living. But she’s confident that all those art supplies were money well spent.

Since joining BrightHouse in 2016, Ryan has been a champion of purpose and creative thinking all over the world. He has led workshops in the Middle East that laid out plans for the world’s largest public park. He has helped European automakers craft sustainability objectives to combat climate change. And he has guided one of the largest banks in Canada to commit to never-before-seen sustainable finance goals.

An art director by trade, Ryan’s experience has spanned doughnuts, banking, toilet paper, and tourism in advertising agencies both big and small. He holds a BFA from Columbus State University and lives happily away from snowy winters in Atlanta, GA with his wife and two children.

MY FAVORITE FORM OF COMMUNICATION

GIFs are the best expression of emotion. I've made a few of my amazing coworkers (click each to meet them). Feel free to use these.

MY BELIEFS

Good ideas should make life better.

If you can’t explain an idea simply, you don’t have a good one.

Sketch pads are more creative than computers.

True leaders get dirty with their team.

Ping-pong is the greatest game on Earth. 

MY FAVORITE SONGS

A friend once asked me for my five favorite songs of all time. The first five songs in this playlist were my official answer. The other 27 songs were close seconds. If I did it again today, I bet it'd be completely different. 

I'm sorry this page isn't better.
