Hello, my name is Ryan Untalan!

Before I became a designer, I studied psychology, immersing myself in empirical studies and facilitating research at Everything Food. But I wanted to do more than explore behavior. I wanted to build things that help people.

So I taught myself web development, creating projects that put research into action. I designed data editing tools for Project Jupyter. Then I honed my craft through a master’s in Human-Computer Interaction + Design.

I went on to become a senior product designer at Providence, helping patients access care. Beyond design, I serve my community as an EMT and SFFD Fire Reservist.

My design approach reflects my journey: start with people, build with curiosity, and create with purpose.
