This workshop was such a fun way of slowing down and exploring not just the PAM in a completely different way but also my inner landscape. The prompts were thoughtful, playful, deep but not overly complicated, and made for an exploration of the museum that was guided by just enough structure but also the freedom to follow your instincts and where curiosity takes you. It made me look at each piece with so much more depth, which was an incredibly enjoyable experience that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I love art but I'd never looked at it with such a curious heart. 

It was also really fun to bump into others from the group while wandering on my own. We’d pause, chat about whatever piece we were looking at, then drift off again. It felt like going to the museum with six different friends at once. You still had the freedom to explore at your own pace, but there were these little moments of connection where you could hear someone else’s take and see the art through their eyes. I loved that.

The group debrief at the end tied everything together. It was fascinating to hear how differently everyone thinks, what insights they had and what each person is drawn to, as well as get Ryan's feedback on my own insight sand how to take it from 'interesting realization' to something actionable. It felt like a creative reset, a chance to connect with other deep thinkers and a way to experience art through fresh perspectives. Try it out, you might uncover things you didn't know you were looking for!

Ryan has worked for me a number of times over the past eight years to refine my brand presence and advise me on marketing. She has an acute understanding of what engages people, and communicates it clearly. An excellent writer, Ryan did a masterful job editing my promotional art book. She is an original thinker, coming up with creative solutions I would never have thought of. This is perhaps her greatest strength and what makes her unique in the field.

Ryan has a rare ability to see through complexity quickly and clearly. Within the first few minutes of our session, she surfaced several simple, practical insights that immediately changed how I was thinking about my work. Each one landed with a quiet “oh—yes, that’s it.”

What stood out was how she explained why things felt off and what to adjust first. It wasn’t prescriptive or formulaic. It was thoughtful, grounded, and rooted in how people actually think and respond. Small shifts in language, emphasis, and structure made a big difference in clarity and direction.

The session didn’t feel like critique. It felt like perspective—like having someone beside you who can see the whole picture and point out what’s easy to miss when you’re too close to it.

I left with a much clearer understanding of what I was trying to communicate and how to move forward without overthinking it.

If you want help untangling ideas, sharpening direction, and making your work easier to explain, Ryan is exactly the kind of thinking partner you want.
