After earning his qualification in Industrial Design from the University of Johannesburg, Ryan began his career designing and building exhibition displays for a small signage company. His talent quickly led him to Kitemark in South Africa, where he managed the prototype department and honed his skills in quality workmanship and innovative design.
Ryan's career took him across the globe, working in diverse fields such as construction, building, manufacturing, and demolition. In 2001, he moved to Australia and served as a Graphic and 3D Exhibition Designer at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. This role marked his transition into the signage industry, where he managed various companies and earned the prestigious Gold Award at the ASGA for his vehicle wrap graphics.
By 2010, Ryan had amassed the knowledge and experience needed to start his own signage company. Collaborating with Andrew Baohm and Stephen Trapnell of Ochre Digital, he co-founded Trio Sign Group. Under his leadership, Trio has rapidly grown into one of Adelaide’s premier corporate and architectural signage firms.
Today, Ryan continues to drive the company’s success with his passion for design and dedication to excellence. Outside of work, he enjoys quality time with his family.
