Ryan Curtis

Designer at Frost* Design

Bachelor Creative Arts / Bachelor of Communications and Media Studies

Back in 2008, Ryan shared his dreams (full profile below) of working for a top graphic design studio and, well, he鈥檚 doing exactly that. He鈥檚 currently a designer at Frost* Design, working on branding and corporate design for clients such as OzHarvest, Woolworths, NSW Health and AMP. It鈥檚 his dream job, but it didn鈥檛 just fall in his lap.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a notoriously difficult industry to crack, so I set about finding work in design studios to gain experience while spending my nights and weekends chasing the dream job,鈥� Ryan says. 鈥淚 spent two years doing everything I could to get my foot in the door at Frost* 鈥� mailing portfolios, writing letters, attending events, making industry connections. Eventually, they succumbed and I got the job.鈥�

After spending his uni days and two years after graduation working towards this one goal, is it everything he hoped for?

鈥淚t has been a far richer and more defining experience than I could have imagined,鈥� he says. 鈥淭he people I鈥檝e met, the work we鈥檝e done and the experiences I鈥檝e had have played a big part in shaping the designer, and person, I am today.鈥滺aving achieved a goal more than 10 years in the making, Ryan believes aligning your goals with your passions is the best way forward.

鈥淚t may take a while, but the perseverance will pay off,鈥� Ryan says. 鈥淛ust ask yourself: what intrigues you? What excites you, moves you, compels you? What gets you talking for hours on end? Whatever it is, study that. You鈥檝e got to love what you do.鈥�

As for where he sees himself in another 10 years, Ryan鈥檚 answer is a little more open-ended than in 2008. 鈥淚 just hope to be exploring the creative field further, hopefully with more of a focus on my photography and writing,鈥� he says.
