My name is Ryan Smedberg and I am a Graphic Designer young and knowledgeable with websites, social media presence, branding, advertising increasing sales, and more. I am someone who believes that first impressions matter for any type of business. Whether it’s a billboard, magazine, or coupon, you have to get the consumers attention. My strength is getting their attention. I understand color theory and what is most pleasing to look at. I work on websites, photos, logos, and more for hours and hours like any perfectionist would until I am satisfied with the result.
For almost two years, I worked at a water pump manufacturer and was in charge of creating advertisements, promotional items, run the website, and pay attention to our social media accounts. I worked for the sales team, the repair division, and rental division to help drum up business in all three departments. It was a tough job as I was marketing for a niche market that only strictly works with engineers, contractors, and government agencies; the material I came up with needed to be educational and precise with a plethora of details the customers wanted. Working for the company made me practice all my skills I learned in school and I succeeded in everything I worked on and several of the managers, my supervisor, the president and vice president appreciated my work and all were positive in that I was helping them in their market.
After leaving this company, I continued gaining experience and developing an impressive portfolio to be proud of and I would like to add more to it. I’m a team player and enjoy bouncing ideas around with others. I can do well on my own, but I do have a competitive nature. Digital content is the most widely used and accessible content to consumers. It is important to keep up with the rest of the world as technology improves and our lives become more complicated.
I did NOT put all of work on this website. I have a physical portfolio that has dozens of more projects and designs that I have done. This online portfolio is more of a preview of what some of my work is and what I am capable of.
Have a good one!
