Ryan Johnson is a producer & director based in New York. His work spans sports, education, and culture, but it’s never just “content.” Whether he’s directing a Nike spot about a kid making his own basketball hoop or building a branded doc series from scratch, Ryan’s focus is the same: how do you feel when it’s over?

He earned his stripes at NYU’s Graduate Film Program, where he learned to move between documentary and commercial work with ease. Since then, he’s directed award-winning work for Nike and Jordan Brand (including a Young Director Award at Cannes Lions and a shots Awards nomination), and collaborated with clients across sports, tech, and the nonprofit world.
