Ryan Sommers

Give him a pen and he’ll sketch any idea into eye-catching reality. Because Ryan exudes the art within architecture. He brings a fresh perspective to our retail practice, with a wealth of experience. Fifteen years to be exact. His passion? Imagining and re-imagining large mixed-use environments. Designing buildings and the public spaces between them excites him. Because he understands the impact they have on citizens and visitors. An avid traveler, Ryan loves exploring big cities. He’s enchanted by urban environments and enjoys his role in shaping and redefining city centers. He sees the big picture and helps his clients see it too. Whether it’s proactively creating a suburban destination or reactively transforming a downtown hub, no matter what – it’s all about creating an experience. An experience that he takes seriously in his personal life too. For Ryan’s imagination extends beyond architecture… to Halloween costumes, of all things. Using his talent as an artist and graphic designer, he creates elaborate, contest-winning costumes from scratch for his family (including the dog) each year.
