Ryan Crown
Founder + Creative Director
Crown Creative
Even as a 4 year old, Ryan Crown was fastidious. Upon seeing
the clothes laid out for him to wear to school, he would inevitably
return them to his wardrobe and take out an ensemble of his own
choosing. Crown, founder and creative director of branding and
design agency Crown Creative, was a " particular kid, " he says,
guided by the instinct and details that now drive his hospitalityfocused
company. " I like identifying talent and seeing how far a
project can go, " he says.
Crown's knack for visualization was amplified in 2016 when
he moved from his native Belfast, Ireland to New York. There, he
helped elevate celebrated lower Manhattan Irish pub the Dead
Rabbit's marketing collateral and served as creative director of

District. He wanted to delve deeper into the concepts and strategies of
a project, so in fall 2018, he launched Crown Creative.
When Crown moved back to Belfast in 2020, the studio's team
grew and solidified its focus on hospitality-a passion that Crown
credits to his New York sojourn. " I plan my holidays around hotels and
F+B experiences, but that wasn't the case until New York. The city
opened this whole world to me. It was a drastic shift in how I perceive
creativity and absorb hospitality, " he explains.
Crown Creative's work spans concept and digital design, visual
identities, art direction, and signage and wayfinding for local
establishments like Fera Bakery, Orto Pizzabar, and Waterman
restaurant, as well as Townhouse Detroit and the recently opened Mad
Nice from Michigan's Heirloom Hospitality. Industry heavyweights
Marriott and Hilton are also clients.
Currently, the team is working on a mix of rollouts, campaigns,
and guest experiences for the Le Méridien brand; the cocktail bar
at the forthcoming Tempo by Hilton New York Times Square; and
Peacock Alley, Waldorf Astoria's signature lounge that is becoming a
