Ry Logo
2019 Inspired by simple and iconic marks, this logo fits two letters into one, functioning as an efficient and playful shorthand for my extremely Polish mouthful of a last name.

New Moon Rage Journals
2023Marking the one year anniversary of a challenging career moment, I announced the launch of a small batch of hand-bound, pocket-sized journals, which sold out in a matter of hours.
Aptly titled ‘New Moon Rage Journals’, I created this set with the energy of the total solar eclipse and new moon in Aries. Ideal for scribbling your hopes and dreams into existence. (And also for expelling your inner rage.)
Hand-bound by Alex Ry. Featuring original artwork from their This is My Universe, These are My Myths collection. Production assistance: Cara Ward
20 pages / Blank
80lb Natural White text paper
130lb Chartreuse cover

Assortment of Plywood
Ongoing (2016-Present)My dad and I built my first piece for my 20th birthday. A magazine rack, inspired by the one in Emma Dime’s workspace. I designed my second piece (a side table) out of necessity / 2020-induced restlessness. I use both pieces daily. My infatuation with plywood lives on.
