About Ryan Paul
Chief Design Officer at 1854 Motors
There's a reason that people say that hardware is hard. It is.
I'm Ryan, and I'm here to help. Since 2003, I have helped clients from Fortune 100s to 2-person startups develop international-award-winning products, working at world-class design firms, leading co- and cross-functional teams, managing clients, timelines, and milestones.
From product strategy, positioning and roadmapping, design development and evaluation, engineering, and production, to shiny new products in happy customers' hands, I can provide clarity and insight into every step of hardware development.
The more complex the program, the more I enjoy it. Since beginning my design career in Ford Motor Company's Living Legends Studio, I have worked with clients including Activision, Alienware, Dell, and Microsoft, led programs that have resulted in over $100 million in startup funding, and anchored a billion dollar/year game franchise.
