Ryan Van Dordrecht, an indie soul artist hailing from Portland, is a multifaceted talent with a background previously playing in pop-Americana band Sidestar, and emo alt-rock band Castella. This secured opening slots with renowned acts like Cake, Death Cab for Cutie, Gin Blossoms, Jude, and Storm Large, plus obtaining 10 million streams on Spotify. His collaborative ventures include working with industry names such as Joe Chiccarelli (known for his work with The Shins and Beck), two-time Grammy-nominated producer Rian Lewis (associated with Doja Cat), Rob Stroup (collaborator with Storm Large), and Rob Daiker (notable for his work with Katy Perry).

Ryan was embarking on the release of his latest solo album, "Undone," and sought a cohesive visual identity spanning from vinyl artwork, website design, and tour materials. A combination of illustrations complemented the photography, with illustrative symbols capturing the essence of his music and the imminent release. It was such joy to work with Ryan, a truly remarkable and talented man!
