Welcome.

Lead Product Designer with 9+ years of experience making a big impact at an online ticketing company.

Ryan Nordyke

About Me

As a Lead Product Designer, I led a small team in close partnership with product and engineering to develop the product’s visual language and design patterns. I mentored our design team toward maturity and domain ownership. I led design initiatives that delivered measurable results, including a 3X increase in engineering velocity, a 10% lift in ticketing conversions, and $10K–$20K in additional revenue per customer.

I’m looking for a full-time remote role at an early to mid-stage company in a vertical or AI-driven SaaS market where I can continue to grow as a design leader, while helping to establish and scale product teams.
