Ryann Kivel
Designer, Artist + Creative Leader
For fifteen years, I’ve helped build brands and design meaningful digital and retail experiences. My career spans early-stage startup teams in San Francisco to global outdoor companies like Slingshot Sports and Burton Snowboards. My work is defined by strategic clarity, visual storytelling, and a deep respect for craft.
When not designing, I’m usually chasing wind on the Columbia river, snowboarding with my family or absorbed in a new art project.

“Ryann is so fun to work with; she has the most positive energy. Her style and professionalism are unmatched. My website redesign felt daunting until I started working with her, at which point it felt more like an easy breezy brunch date! I’m in love with the color palette she chose and the fresh ideas really took my site to the next level.” -

”Ryann took the time to listen to my ideas and understanding the feeling I wanted our new website to have. From there, she used her design brilliance to craft the most beautiful and functional site for us. She worked very quickly and was a really good listener throughout the entire process, always making the changes I couldn’t quite describe. The end product is incredible. It is the website I always wanted. It is a website I can be proud of.”
