Welcome Ryan Wright!

I know this site is generally geared toward women, but we make no effort to hide the fact that we love men around here. And although men have contributed with comments, links, and great ideas from the beginning, today is the first time we're officially putting out the welcome mat. Let's give a great big Design Mom Welcome to Ryan Wright, our first Guest Dad.

Ryan in brief:
He was raised in Southern California. He now lives in New York and works for Sony BMG Music where he's the Vice-President of Global Marketing. He's married to Erin. He's the father of 3.

Now the details:
I've known Ryan and Erin for 3 or 4 years now. And that's how I think of them: Ryan and Erin the couple. And they're kind of an intimidating couple. Erin might be the prettiest real life person I know. Sometimes I have to remind myself that she's not airbrushed, she's actually real. She's that pretty. And Ryan just oozes cool and confidence, so much so that when you first meet him, you think he might be famous and you might recognize him from somewhere. Like I said, they're kind of intimidating. And then you have a conversation with them, and discover that their both super smart and incredibly kind, and you think you've just a hit the jack pot of wonderful people to know.

And since both are intensely interested in the people around them, they are so fun to talk with and the ideal people to have at any gathering. If the Wrights are at your party, you know it will be a good one.

I've mentioned a few times that it's going to be a Rocking Month. And I don't know anyone who works more closely with Rock Stars than Ryan Wright. It's going to be a great week.
