Ryan Bliss's Portfolio

UX + Code.

If you're looking for someone with deep experience coding + designing applications, conducting user research, and making data-informed decisions, then you're looking for Ryan Bliss.

About Me.

Having built, designed, and managed over a dozen mobile / web applications, I know what it takes to build modern applications driven by user feedback. Coming from a product management and entrepreneurship background, I'm not your average product developer — I have deep experience with each stage of the product development lifecycle.

I am currently living in Salt Lake City, UT, working as a freelance app designer and developer for startups in the Utah Valley. If you need someone with a proven record of designing, building, and shipping quality apps, let's talk!

Userbuddy

As a fun side project, we are building an SDK for data-driven app developers. The idea is to standardize the feedback loop I've used on my top-rated apps: collect user sentiment/feedback, target cohorts with usability surveys & study invitations, and ask happy users to leave an app review.
