Ryan Hunt
Hi, I'm Ryan Hunt! I am an artist specializing in science communication and marketing based in Tucson, Arizona and Manhattan Beach, California. I recently graduated from the University of Arizona Honors College with a B.S. in Environmental Science and a minor in Studio Art.
My passion for bridging art and science stems from a young age when I would draw, paint, and sculpt wildlife. I was fascinated by the natural world and passionate about conservation. I realized early on the importance of scientific literacy and I wanted to be a communicator.
In high school, I became a University of Arizona KEYS Research Intern which became my first opportunity to do real science with top research professionals. Coincidentally, this also opened doors for marketing and communications at the BIO5 Institute which housed the program. Throughout college I worked as a graphic design student assistant here and upon graduation, I became a full-time graphic artist with the University of Arizona Office of Research & Partnerships.
Today, I have developed a wide range of skills from animation, photography, painting, and illustration which allow me to be an effective visual communicator and translate complex scientific topics. I am open for commission work and ready to collaborate!
