Ryan Matta is a multidisciplinary creative working across motion design, AI-assisted filmmaking, illustration, and original narrative development. Based in New York City, his work explores the intersection of storytelling, visual systems, and emerging creative technologies.

For more than a decade at ABC News, Ryan has designed motion graphics and 3D visuals for national broadcasts including Good Morning America, World News Tonight, Nightline, and 20/20. Working within the fast-moving environment of live news, he has developed a reputation for combining technical precision, cinematic storytelling, and calm execution under pressure. His work has contributed to Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning broadcasts and reflects an ongoing interest in visual systems that communicate with clarity, urgency, and emotional impact.

Alongside his broadcast career, Ryan has continued to develop independent creative work spanning screenwriting, experimental filmmaking, illustration, and AI-assisted visual development. His projects often combine analog processes, digital craft, and generative tools to explore new forms of cinematic storytelling and worldbuilding. Through initiatives such as Ryan Matta AI, Psychodoodles, and a growing slate of original narrative properties, his work investigates how emerging technologies can expand — rather than replace — authored creative expression.

Earlier in his career, Ryan produced graphics for Inside Edition, contributed 3D modeling work to the Broadway revival of Guys and Dolls revival, and worked in film production in Los Angeles. He studied 3D animation at Media Design School in Auckland, New Zealand, and earned a B.S. in Communication/Media & Film Production from Fitchburg State University.

Ryan also spent more than a decade managing the Martha’s Vineyard estate of director Mike Nichols and journalist Diane Sawyer. The role required operational leadership, discretion, and the coordination of complex creative and logistical environments, offering a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on the worlds of film, journalism, and storytelling at the highest level.

Today, Ryan’s work is driven by a belief that storytelling is evolving into a more fluid, multidisciplinary process — one that moves between motion, illustration, writing, systems design, and AI-assisted creative experimentation.
