I am available for freelance and full time opportunities. While I am mainly focused on my career as a web designer, I am available on a limited basis for fashion design opportunities.
My most recent project was working with my sister to design her wedding dress. Years of textile and fashion experience helped us to create the perfect gown for her special day. See all of my recent work here.
After working for ten years in New York City’s fashion industry, I discovered my creative passion for web design. I was intrigued by the versatility and possibilities it offered, so I left my position designing a celebrity fashion line and pursued courses in web design and development. My familiarity with creative design programs, such as Adobe Creative Cloud, facilitated a smooth transition from fashion design to web design. Along with Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, and WordPress, I also utilize After Effects, Adobe XD, and Figma.
As a creative individual with a strong aptitude for math and problem-solving, I’ve found my ultimate calling in web design and development. While working on responsive websites, logos, motion graphics, newsletters, gifs, and short videos, I continuously learn additional programming languages and stay updated with the latest design trends in color, typography, and design.
I am proficient in customizing WordPress, WooCommerce, and other platforms, and I can code by hand with HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP. I am also capable of collaborating with developers and teams on Github. Additionally, I am currently undertaking courses in Python, Ruby, C++, visual design, and brand identity.
Jenna Ryan Design showcases my early fashion design portfolio and the latest web design projects, as well as everything in between.
Before making a career change, I worked as an activewear designer for several brands and companies in New York City focusing on technical performance clothing, athleisure and streetwear. I worked on women’s product mostly, but have experience working in men’s active as well as girl’s active and women’s swimwear.
I started freelancing in 2009 by creating marketing product for a craft beer and bar project in Hoboken, NJ. Since then I have added various freelance projects to my portfolio including web design work.
I have fine arts experience and attended high school and college for fashion design with courses in illustration. While my focus is digital art, some styles lend themselves to hand painting first and this is often part of my process in print, pattern and graphic design.
