Young Entrepreneurs
Mr. Ryan Woods
Ryan is the president of "Rawdesignz" a fairly young but growing graphic design business. When asked about his business and career Mr. Woods shared with us the following,
"- I’ve been designing close to 15 years. It started as just drawing using pencil and paper then I was introduced to Photoshop by my uncle who at the time owned his own Architecture company Module. He allowed me to intern with him for a summer back when I was going into my 10th grade year of high school. From then I fell in love with the idea of being able to digitize my pencil drawings. After I got used to the program I then began designing logos, flyers, business cards for myself and other people as well."
Ryan is happily married and is the father of 2 boys. He balances family, business and other duties in a very busy life. When asked what his greatests strengths were he responded by saying:
"- I believe my greatest strength is my eye for design. While most people just see letters, colors and shapes, I look at it and try to figure out why did they use those letters or that font, why did they pick those colors, who attention are they try to get, who is this design appealing to, those shapes, why did they use them in that way. I typically look for the deeper meaning in a design always asking why do I like or don’t like it, what would I have done for this. I look for understanding in designs."
- My ultimate goal for RAW Designz is to become The RAW Designz Agency and Consulting Group. We will be a full-blown design agency with our own printing and publishing departments. We will be a household name like Jeni’s Ice Cream, known here in Columbus but operating across the country servicing Fortune 500 companies from around the world. RAW Designz will be a go to consultants for multibillion-dollar design projects.
