I’m Ryan, a sound designer and all-round creative based in Bristol, UK.
This website is part portfolio, part blog—a place to showcase cool things I’ve worked on, what I’m currently creating, and other interesting things I have going on.
Recently back in Bristol after a few years studying in Manchester, I’m always on the lookout for projects to learn new skills and refine my existing ones.
Sound Design
Sound design has been a huge passion of mine for years now. When I started my degree, it allowed me to fully explore the role of sound design in all forms of media; from video games and film to real-life installations. I now enjoy working on my own sound re-design projects, and would love to take on some work on genuine projects, whether that be working on independent short-films, or joining a studio on a temporary, part-time or full-time basis.
Photography
I discovered my love of photography while living in Manchester. Starting out with my Pentax ME Super, I loved capturing interesting shots of everyday life in and around the city. More recently, I’ve been learning to photograph live music events — I even had the opportunity to join a band on their short tour of Northern Italy in the spring of 2025.
Music
I’ve always been a huge music lover, which has taken many different forms over the years. Recently I co-founded a band called ‘Aztec West’ with one of my best friends, in which I mainly play rhythm guitar. We play covers of alternative music that we love, although we are in currently in the process of writing some originals too.
Vinyl
I am a huge lover of vinyl records and have my own collection that you can see here. Sometimes I come into some larger collections and take the time to clean, grade and sell some cool pieces too, although I’m much more likely to end up keeping them!
