Ryan VandenBosch

Hi, I’m Ryan

A creative director with over a decade of experience making headlinesnot just adsand one of the the only PR creatives in the world to win a Gold Lion in PR.


I've made cough drops that taste like soup, a summer camp that runs on baking soda, and a jingle about body wash that got 5 million views on TikTok.


I'm an earned creative through and through, so your girl loves a nontraditional medium and an excuse to get weird.

Fast Facts:

I will just as readily quote Pitbull as I will Lord of the Rings.


I love the sun, hate the cold, and prefer uncrowded spaces. Naturally, I left Miami and moved to New York.


I've lived past lives as a film director, social content creator, and a voiceover artist.


I'm a reader by day (strictly fiction, don't come at me with a biography).


And a gamer by night (not as strictly, but mostly single-player RPGs).


I love making simple, joyful work with good, kind people… preferably with a Lord of the Rings soundtrack on.

On the weekends I also bake.


I moved to New York and quickly realized that I needed an "inside" hobby to ward off the cold-weather-scaries. Two important things happened that year: I discovered The Great British Bake Off and I decided to teach myself Adobe Premiere.


@the_rybread_ is the conscious coupling of these two worlds. It is my diary of flour and editing escapades, and home to my cooking puns.
