Ole is a professional artist and documentary filmmaker who now focuses on CRE8. His creative drive opens him to an experimental approach most readily demonstrated when he acts on ideas from children in workshops. When Ole is not in a workshop you may find him out in the world filming or in the neighborhood drawing “realistic” aliens.

Ryan Lally
Content Strategist & Director of Financial Reporting

Ryan could never choose between his love for words and his love for numbers. Thankfully, at CRE8 he doesn’t have to. He has advanced degrees in Business and Information Systems and serves as our primary content writer and website strategist. Ryan is also a certified accountant and leads our compliance efforts. Believe it or not, he enjoys both roles equally.

Special Talent: Ryan is a freelance writer, a mean amateur percussionist, and a really good time on karaoke nights.
