Bio

Ryan is Emerging Media Specialist at Levenger. He collaborates with the product hackers and Lev'angelists of DIY Planner and various social networks to place new product development in the hands of real customers. Collaborative Ideation is a tumblelog he uses to synthesize both voice and perspective for the networks within which he experiments with methods for generating co-creation and crowd-sourcing innovation.

"I'm here to listen, learn, and participate in conversations about paper and productivity."

Ryan also writes about the changing face of humanity with developments in pervasive computing and emergent social technologies. He works within persistent virtual worlds under the avatar, "Austin Ellison." His goal is to plant the seeds for long term positive change under the blanket of the approaching dissolution of cyberspace toward metaspace.
