Ryan McCarthy

Ryan Paul McCarthy is an Art Director, Production Designer and 3D Artist who builds worlds from the ground up. With just over a decade of experience spanning every role in the art department, Ryan brings an unparalleled, 360 degree understanding of production to every set.

Originally trained in Architecture (BFA), his approach is rooted in experiential design, focusing on the emotional trajectory of how audiences and characters move and express through space. Ryan bridges the gap between ambitious concepts and practical execution through his strong technical backbone in advanced 3D modelling, conceptual visualisation, and precise draughting. This allows him to communicate complex ideas clearly to directors, crews, and clients alike.

Over his career, Ryan has delivered premier art department services for global brands, top tier production companies, and acclaimed production designers and directors. Yet, his work is driven by a foundational belief: Design is never a solo act. Every environment is a vibrant collaboration of filmmakers, makers, designers, and mentors. Whether designing a high end commercial, a narrative film, or exploring the future of Mixed Reality experiences, Ryan’s ultimate pursuit is simple: to share ideas, collaborate with great people, and reveal entirely new worlds.
