Liz Ryan is architectural illustrator and creative projects producer based in Brooklyn, New York.
From 2019-2024, Liz was a member of MSCHF, an art collective engaged in social critique. She was the group’s first full-time production hire and departed with a dance card of wide-ranging experience. Of the 64 projects she produced at MSCHF, she’s most proud of Tax Heaven 3000, a dating simulator that does your taxes, Nothing Is Sacred, the collective’s first international solo show at the Daelim Museum in Seoul, and Made By MSCHF, a comprehensive monograph released by Phaidon in March of 2025.
Since going freelance in 2024, Liz has continued to make weird things with nice people. She is currently open to freelance projects in a producer (technical, integrated) or illustrator/designer capacity.
Her approach to illustration is rooted in on-site reportage drawing and aided by a long time love of research and internet sleuthing. She primarily creates non-figurative work, but looks to people and their stories to shape and humanize her illustrations. Liz is currently working on a graphic novel about Prague in the 1940s, and outfitting a sunny studio in Dumbo with a handful of other illustrators.
