About Me

Good design is a lot like clear thinking made visual.
– Edward Tufte

Hi, I’m Ryan Brandt, a graphic designer based in Washington D.C., currently shaping brand narratives as a Corporate Brand Designer at APCO Worldwide.

With a background that spans agencies, nonprofits, and cultural institutions — including VoxGlobal, American Battlefield Trust, Studio Theatre, and the U.S. Travel Association — I bring a versatile design perspective grounded in strategy and storytelling.

I’m passionate about publication design, crafting intuitive user experiences, and building clean, functional grid systems. I love exploring the relationship between typography and color, and finding that perfect pairing that brings a concept to life.

Whether it's designing for print, digital, or somewhere in between, I aim to create work that feels as good as it looks.
