Spotlight On: Ryan Dunn

Our Newest UI Design Intern

Written by The Pigeon

We want to give a big ‘Fighting Pigeon’ welcome to the latest addition to the Urban Influence team, our design intern, Ryan Dunn.

Born and raised in Seattle WA, Ryan is a junior at UW majoring in Visual Communication Design…this guy’s legit, just check out his Dribbble (we just drafted him) or if you’re so inclined take a gander at his online portfolio (we did).

One of the things that sets him apart in his interview was his attention to detail, his understanding of color theory, and his use of typography (we always appreciate some tasty use of type). Over the past week, we have learned a few interesting things about our intern that are worth sharing:

  • Favorite Color: Olive Green (props for being specific)
  • Favorite Place to Visit: Tuscany, Italy
  • Future Goals: Art Director at Esquire Magazine
  • Hobby: Curling (yes, you read that right)
  • Musical Instrument: Banjo (you can already see why we hired him)
