Ryan Mueller is a designer specialising in branding, object design, and contemporary jewellery. His practice draws on the traditions of ancient craft and the enduring pull of human curiosity. Working across mediums such as lighting, gold and silversmithing, collage, and sculpture, Mueller engages deeply with pure materiality, and the human ability to endlessly reframe and recontextulise beauty.
Alongside his material practice, Mueller brings a considered approach to brand experience - crafting visual identities and brand worlds that are immersive, intuitive, and strategically aligned. His work represents an evolving body of concepts, curation, and collected forms, unified by a commitment to thoughtful design and purposeful making.
