Experience
Golf Pride
Pinehurst, North Carolina | Spring & Fall 2025
Contributed to the design development of 2026 and 2027 golf grips, encompassing new collections, putter line expansions, limited-time releases, and OEM collaborations. Drove the creative process through extensive research, sketching, ideation, brand experimentation, and high-quality rendering to ensure innovative and market-leading designs.
Metakosmos
Sydney, Australia | Summer 2024
Developed a custom system integrating Product Life-Cycle Management (PLM) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) functionalities to enhance operational efficiency in the space suit business. Conducted user research, created wireframes, and executed usability testing to optimize the UI, implementing UI/UX best practices and delivered a user-centric application that dramatically speeds up the space suit process.
Self Development
Cincinnati, Ohio | Fall 2023
In my freetime, I ran a self-directed exploration project on skydiving helmets, looking at how different brands tackle the design challenges in sportswear and equipment. I got into the details of how each brand approached things like aerodynamics, impact protection, and visibility, and compared their material choices, form language, and overall design philosophy.
Kroger Technology
Cincinnati, Ohio | Jan 2023 - Aug 2023
I worked on creating different prototypes of varying projects for the Research and Development team. I was grateful to be asked back to Kroger to continue work during the summer semester. That semester I experienced UI/UX design as my tasks included gathering data from users in stores, creating prototypes of potential screens, and testing those screens back with the users.
Learn about me!
Hi, I'm Ryan Lannoye, an industrial designer in Chicago, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati's industrial design program, and a former college hockey player, so I know what gear feels like when it works and when it gets in the way. I've taken sports products from first sketch through production — owning color, material, and finish decisions, prototyping in-hand until the feel is right, and presenting work at the executive level. I'm a compulsive learner, always pulling apart how different brands solve the same design problem. Great equipment disappears when the athlete is locked in. Everything I design is held to that standard.
