Ryann Flynn’s Education

Chicago Portfolio School

Art Direction 2007 — 2008

At CPS I learned that as fun as the ad game is it's also a lot of work. I took what most people do in two years and crammed it into one. I made it out alive, a little bruised and blooded but totally better off.

This is were I learned you could actually make a living coming up with ideas and making ads. It was like love at first marker comp.
