Ryan Matta

At ABC News, Ryan serves as a motion graphics and 3D artist, where he creates dynamic visual content for high-profile programs, including Good Morning America, World News Tonight, Nightline, and 20/20—blending technical precision with artistic expression to engage millions of viewers daily. Based in New York City, he is known for reliability under pressure, delivering complex visuals on tight deadlines in the ever-changing environment of live news. His work has contributed to multiple Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Awards and is recognized for combining cinematic polish with journalistic urgency.

In addition to his broadcast career, Ryan spent more than a decade managing the Martha’s Vineyard estate of director Mike Nichols and journalist Diane Sawyer. Overseeing operations for the historic 24-acre property, he coordinated staff, contractors, and guests from across the worlds of film, theater, and news. This unique position required discretion, resourcefulness, and the ability to manage complex logistical and personal needs for two of America’s most celebrated cultural figures. That experience sharpened his organizational and leadership skills while giving him a rare perspective on creative collaboration at the highest levels.

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

Beyond his professional work, Ryan pursues ongoing creative interests in screenwriting and visual art, exploring the intersection of storytelling, design, and cinematic expression.
