HI, My name is Ryan (he/him) I live and design in Portland Or. This is My first shop website.
I will be updating the inventory on a regular basis while working on additional pages that contain examples of my past work and details about my process.
While fashion has always held a central position among my interests it is fairly recently that I have begun to design and produce my own garments. For the longest time my creative pursuits revolved around more traditional visual arts, starting with drawing and painting and moving eventually to a more sculptural focus. My sculptures were the result of experimenting with paper products and mostly found plastics as well as other materials. I refined certain techniques that interested me and this contributed to the final form of my pieces. It seems no surprise that eventually my love of fashion and making sculptural art pieces would merge into this current incarnation: Collect Call.
Update: as of 2022 I’ve taken an interest in digital sculpting both in Virtual Reality and tablet based software. Realizing now that I should probably start a blog so I can tell you how exciting it is.
