Ryan C.

Vice President @ Stitch America

About

After graduating from University of Tennessee in 2006 I have spent the majority of my time managing projects in the marketing industry. While my past experiences may vary quite a bit from project to project, all my past positions have allowed me to use my passion for media arts to do the best job possible. Since late 2008, my main focus has been serving as the Marketing Manager to Organicism Farms, a specialty produce farm located in Tennessee. In three years we have managed to created multiple markets for our farm across many different southeastern cities. I was responsible for creating several new products which gives our farm a unique, differentiated position among our competition. Specialties: Graphic Design, Web Design, Print Design, SEO, Product Design, Budget Estimates, Guerrilla marketing, Product Development, Vintage Musical Instruments & Audio Equipment
