RYAN SMITH

SENIOR CONCEPT DESIGNER/ ILLUSTRATOR

ABOUT

I am an enthusiastic "artist's artist". Not limited by conventions, I prefer to be on the drawing side of the art board. My original digital artworks serve as the visual backbone for most of the projects I am involved in. I know the importance of being trusted with major brands and have a flexible adherent style, depending on the project. My entertainment and theme park industry designs are always made with awareness of all facets of actual execution - technical specifications, space planning, architecture and existing structures. I've had roles ranging from Background Environment Designer to Senior Concept Artist, primarily in the entertainment and theme park industries. My work includes concept design for attractions like Minion Park, Jurassic Park: The Flying Dinosaur, Despicable Me : Minion Mayhem, Transformers: The Ride 3D, and The Simpsons Ride.
