Ryan joined User Enablement from the Digital Operations team earlier this year.
“I’m grateful for the incredible work that Ryan has done,” says Aaron Kennedy (@aaron_kennedy), Digital Design Manager. “No matter what project I’ve asked him to tackle, he’s been unflappable in his willingness to dig right in.
“I get a lot of great feedback about Ryan. Not only about his design work, but people simply enjoy working with him – I couldn’t agree more.”
He’s been an integral part of several high-profile design projects that include:
- The Discovery Summit design and conference hub
- The Statistically Speaking sub-brand
- The Statistics Knowledge Portal (SKP)
- Creation of the JMP Asset Library, a repository of JMP photos, graphics and bios
In his new role, Ryan is focusing on the JMP User Community, InsideJMP and online documentation. He’ll continue to support discoverysummit.jmp and the JMP Asset Library.
