Ryan Moore

Attaining a position at the Savannah College of Art and Design represents a natural progression in my creative career, bringing together nearly three decades of design industry experience, business ownership, leadership development and youth mentoring with a newly completed MFA in Graphic Design. Drawing from these experiences, I am excited to guide and enable the students of SCAD as they define, pursue, and achieve their goals.

Established in 1997, the Moore Creative Company began as a graphic design studio and evolved into a website design and development firm focusing on solution development and complex systems integrations. Managing a small team of 5-10 employees, freelance designers, and developers has involved team leadership, project management, sales, and client management.
 
As a designer and developer with over 28 years of experience in Moore Creative, I have undertaken roles as Designer, Illustrator, Creative Director, Team Lead, and Project Director in client projects. I have also concurrently served as Creative Director and Project Manager for partner agencies and organizations, directing their activities and client projects.
 
Enjoying education and training, I have developed and delivered training programs for adults and professionals through the NC State University Computer Training Unit, technology training for user group conferences, and have also managing internships for high school and college students pursuing careers in graphic design and web development.
 
In 2020 I became Scoutmaster for Mooresville Boy Scout Troop 171, allowing me to express passions for servant leadership, teaching, youth development and leadership training. Leading a “Scout-led” troop of 80-100 youth, we worked together to reinvent program activities to adapt through pandemic conditions and ensure that we thrived through events, outings, training, and personal leadership development. Within this role, I enabled and directed more than 200 meetings, coordinated over 48 outings, and mentored more than 55 Eagle Scouts.
 
Within my 2026 MFA Thesis, I developed an educational, game-based business skills learning platform tailored to the creative and artistic entrepreneur mindset. In contrast to traditional business training, this visually engaging system is available in physical short-form content as well as a robust online system and is designed to instantly appeal to the creative mind as they add and strengthen crucial, long-term business survival skills.
 
I look forward to applying my combined experience in graphic design and creative director roles, business development, client relationships, and youth leadership development to benefit the programs and students of the Savannah College of Art and Design.
