A licensed Architect, with more than 18 years of experience, Ryan believes that technology and the tools available in the industry are reflected in the buildings that we create. Throughout his career he has used technology to not only transform the design process, but also transform the built environment. He created and led Clark Nexsen’s Tech Studio, which leverages current and future technology to facilitate design, collaboration, exploration, and workflow. He now leads the Computation and AI Hubs of the CNCPT Collaborative, the engine behind Clark Nexsen’s investigation and application of technologies that augment the design process. As the firm's first Computational Designer, he pushes the use of computational thinking and computational tools such as automation, parametric design, data, and simulation to transform design. Ryan has served on The American Institute of Architects Technology in Architecture Practice (TAP) national Knowledge Community from 2017 to 2022 and was the 2020 chair.
