In each project, I was continuously impressed by Ryan's ability to bring structure to a difficult process as well as his keen eye for detail. In addition, Ryan is a delight to work with - he has great insights from his wealth of experience and has excellent skill in driving a group to final decisions, allowing projects to move forward even when there are many differing opinions." - Kelly Coyne, Head of Marketing and Sales at Lily Robotics, Inc.
"Ryan, has an amazing amount of knowledge in materials, design, together with Engineering creativity. He has provided Lily Robotics with a truly world class product packaging design." - Doug Chan, Chief Manufacturing Officer at Lily Robotics, Inc.
"I love Logistics as a profession because it is a team sport. Ryan and I worked together at two companies where I saw his truly amazing talent in packaging design as well as his skill in working with and leading both internal and external packaging teams. Ryan has a collaborative style that embraces cross functional teams and I have witnessed him making valuable contributions, not just to logistics but to Marketing, Retail Channels and Product design. He is a consummate professional whom I highly recommend." - Mike Madeleine, Global Supply Chain & Logistics Solutions at Lily Robotics, Inc.
"Ryan worked in our Structural Design group within our design department as an 8 month paid intern while finishing his college degree in packaging from the University of Wisconsin, Stout. He was an exceptional contributor to our design process and rose quickly to be well above his rank as an intern. Our tenured designers felt strongly that Ryan is an excellent designer and was a fantastic part of our department while he worked for us. I wish I would have been able to establish a position to keep Ryan full time after his internship was complete. I highly recommend Ryan for his professionalism, fun work ethic and his abilities... with all sincerity and high regard" - Fred Sklenar, Creative Director at Great Northern Corporation

"We hired Ryan to redesign our box for our product because are current box wasn't fully protecting it from damage during shipping. So I worked with Ryan to redesign it from the ground up and he did a great job. He was quick to respond to any questions and would let me know if we wanted certain features if they would work or not. Since we've used his design we had no customer complaints for damage during shipping." - Derek Rosin, Engineering Technician at Rainin Instrument LLC
"Ryan was the principle technical interface between ID, business management, and vendors. Ryan developed many unique and cost effective packaging designs. In addition Ryan developed SOP for pack out sites and trained QC. In the world of multiple SKU and late changes it is imperative to have someone with Ryan's ability and drive." - Barry Holmes, Head of Sourcing at Jawbone
