Hi! I'm Ryn Ellis, a second-year Graphic Design student at Canadore College, professional chaos wrangler, and part-time gremlin in the
creative arts. I'm also a proud graduate of Canadore's Game Design and Development program (Class of 2024), which means I can design both your
UI and your doom.
Since 2021, I've been working in the film industry - yes, the real one, not the "my friends and I made a short film in my basement" kind. I've been
part of projects like Beyond Black Beauty (2024), Everything's Going to Be Great (2025), and SkyMed (Season 4, 2026), and I am a member of IATSE 411
as a 2nd APC. Translation: I know how to survive long shoot days, unreasonable call times, and the general chaos of film/set life....and I keep coming
back willingly.
Before film and design kidnapped me, I collected job experience like Pokémon cards. Customer service? Done it. Sales? Yup. Inventory management, purchasing,
aviation, transportation? Also yes. Basically, if it required organization, problem solving, or quietly judging inefficiency, I was there.
I believe that art is an expression of your inner child - or your inner demon, depending on much sleep you got and how many deadlines you're ignoring.
Creativity, to me, is limitless. It's messy, unpredictable, occassionally unhinged...and that's exactly why I love it.
My ultimate goal? To work in the film industry's art department, where I can help bring new worlds to life. I thrive in environments where no two days
are the same, where things break at the worst possible moment, and where creatvitity is both a solution and a survival tactic. Film is chaos - and I love
every minute of it.
