About Emily

Emily R. Ryan is a designer who enjoys forming community by designing products that bring people together. Emily believes designers leading with empathy can create a more humane and just world.

Emily studied Business Management at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business and obtained a research-intensive certificate in Clinical Psychology. With experience in psychological research, business development, and customer service, Emily has a wide range of skills and compassion for people.

She is currently working with KC Tenants to build a dashboard to bridge fragmented data on the city’s housing climate. She believes that data-driven insights can empower positive change and ensure safe, affordable, and accessible housing for all.

When not designing people-centered products and services, you can find Emily making zines, attending rock shows, trying new restaurants, cycling, or climbing trees in the park. If you can’t find her there, she can be reached by email.
