Ryan is the Founder and the licensed Architect for Objectechne Studio. He is a registered Architect in North Carolina and South Carolina with the ability to acquire a license in many other states. He holds a B.S. in Building Science from Appalachian State University and Master of Architecture from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. With over 15 years of architectural design experience,  Ryan specializes in creating innovative, functional, and enduring spaces to inspire the people who use them.  Ryan's portfolio spans a diverse range of multimillion-dollar projects — including K-12 and higher education facilities, commercial buildings, restaurants, healthcare facilities and hospitals.

"Throughout my career, I have collaborated with clients, consultants, and contractors to bring complex visions to life — balancing aesthetic goals, budget constraints, and technical demands.  I believe great architecture begins with listening and understanding each client’s mission, community and future needs to design a space that enhances learning, healing, working and gathering. 

From concept through construction, my approach combines creative thinking with attention to detail to deliver spaces that elevate both form and function."
