Meet R Ryan Hayes, our talented Animator hailing from the vibrant city of Chicago, now calling Sacramento, CA, home. With a degree from the Art Institute in San Francisco and two decades in the industry, Ryan's professional journey is marked by creativity and dedication. His passion for animation goes beyond mere pixels; it's about forging meaningful connections through his craft.

For Ryan, the beauty of his work lies in the opportunity to build genuine relationships. At Richter, he relishes the freedom to collaborate directly with clients, bypassing the red tape and bureaucracy often found in larger agencies. This direct line of communication allows him to immerse himself in each project, understanding the pulse of the client and surpassing their expectations. At Richter, talent reigns supreme, and Ryan thrives in an environment where his skills are trusted and celebrated.

Beyond the studio, Ryan's life is a vibrant tapestry of family and hobbies. Whether he's embracing spending time with his wife and son, honing his skills in Muay Thai, or whipping up culinary delights in the kitchen, family remains his anchor. And let's not forget his penchant for sunglasses – an avid "collector" (or as he playfully puts it, "hoarder") adding a touch of flair to his everyday adventures. With a heart full of passion and a spirit of creativity, Ryan embodies the perfect blend of professional prowess and personal fulfillment, both within and beyond the Richter realm.
