What it’s like to work with me

Here’s what people have to say about working with me:
Siobhan Jelinski,
ATB Ventures
Working with Kirsty has been a highlight from my last year as her creativity and work ethic are second to none. She has a unique ability to push boundaries while remaining respectful and collaborative, always ensuring the designs are aligned with our brand guidelines and design direction. More than just the amazing and timely work – Kirsty brings such positive energy to every project, making the whole process fun and enjoyable. She's a true team player, always willing to roll up her sleeves and go the extra mile. I can't recommend Kirsty Ryan enough!
Katie Davis-Sayles,
Langara College
Kirsty has been an invaluable resource for our department. Kirsty was able to help us articulate our message for our audience, develop a clear strategy to get that message out, and then help us build the content to support it. She acutely understands our overall goals and converts them into accessible, delightful, consistent content. While we are still early in our marketing efforts, we already see the value of Kirsty’s work in the feedback from our network, interest in our program, and momentum during application season.

“Kirsty is an immense pleasure to work with; she’s always very collaborative, responsive, upbeat, and has a really strong handle on projects, keeping them on track even when other priorities (sometimes mountains of them) arise.”
Aneta Tasheva,
TELUS Digital
“Kirsty is one of those rare superstars who has it all: an immense depth of knowledge, a desire to make a profound impact on projects and an incredibly positive attitude.”
Noah Kravitz,

Future Foundation
“Kirsty is an absolute brand and content rockstar! Working with her is a pleasure; her professionalism and work ethic is always appreciated, which she balances with a great sense of humour.”
Heidi Tretheway,

Kirsty doesn’t just bring creative and design talent to the table — she’s a magician who can intuitively understand my business goals and translate them into creative that moves the needle. I love that I don’t have to be overly prescriptive with the work I give her, and she often offers multiple ideas and ways to solve a problem before we agree on the best direction forward. Kirsty is easy to work with, takes feedback well, and thoroughly accountable. Highly recommended as your creative strategist!
