About Ryan
As co-founder of Edit Design Build Studio, Ryan oversees design, production and project management. Whenever possible, Ryan is still known to grab his tool bag and will always enjoy swinging a hammer.
Ryan’s dedication to thoughtful design is matched by his hands-on commitment to turn visions into reality. With a strong eye for design and detail, every Edit project is devoted to excellence in both design and craftsmanship.
Since earning his degree in Architecture in 1999 at the University of Minnesota, Ryan has vigorously pursued a career that merges design with construction. As both an intern and later a full-time employee, Ryan enhanced his design skills at Harry Teague Architects in Aspen, CO, working on and managing diverse projects including the award winning Glacier Residence, Smuggler Street Residence, Benedict Music Tent, and Anderson Ranch Arts Center.
Returning to the Midwest in 2002, Ryan worked with his father Rick to re-envision and renovate their family’s 110-year old Wisconsin farmstead into a serene, contemporary family retreat. Ryan’s vision of forming a design-build firm can be traced to this endeavor, and in 2009, Ryan and Zoe merged their mutual passions for strong design and exceptional craftsmanship with the creation of Edit Design Build Studio.
