Hi I’m Ryleah,

Now you’re probably wondering… how does someone even end up in this very niche role nestled somewhere between events and design? Well, I’m here to tell you!

Born and raised in Edmonton, AB, I moved to Vancouver in 2013 to study interior design at the Visual College of Art and Design. I’ve always been drawn to more creative disciplines and wanted to explore my entrepreneurial spirit – so, at 24, I started my own business: Ryleah Shae Creative.

With a vision of pushing creative boundaries, I designed a role for myself that doesn’t always fit perfectly into one box – and that’s just the way I like it! With a convergence of my backgrounds in hospitality, marketing and design, I sought out to amplify and elevate digital-facing brands and empower them to stand out in the physical space.

With purpose and curiosity at the helm, let’s make your biggest dreams a reality – shall we!?

I can’t wait to connect!

Sincerely,

Ryleah

FUN FACTS

I got my hands dirty on my first design project at 15 when I was finally given full reign to give my bedroom a makeover. I painted the walls (myself) a deep purple, baseboards black, and found a black chandelier I was absolutely  in LOVE with

In 2020, I applied and was accepted into Apartment Therapy's “Small Cool Contest” and listed my apartment as a “Playful, Flirty, Uplifting Small/Cool Space”. If you come to visit, you’ll find a pistachio green dartboard in the living room and a decent art collection from some of Vancouver’s finest.

At age 5, I declared to my mom that I was going to be an artist when I grew up! Although I never attended extracurricular art classes, you could find me playing defence in soccer, diving two times a week, and taking jazz dance growing up.

My good friends call me Ryles, describe my personal closet as geriatric chic, and beg me to stop singing in the car.

 

Kinetic - Approach to Design

The world of design is always evolving, and forever in motion. Embracing change, while creating space for my clients to make some noise is a driving force behind why I do what I do!

Playful - Approach to Connection

Building community and human connection is a core ethos at RSC. I believe that everyone is a creative at heart, especially when given the space and tools to play!

Open Minded - Approach to Growth

Learning is a life-long journey, led by curiosity and an open mindset! When it comes to information, there is always an opportunity to share and explore.

Discovery
Discovery

Here’s where we get to know each other, quirks and all! This is our opportunity to connect, explore initial thoughts and your goals for the project. With your brandbook and vision top of mind, the discovery phase is all about brainstorming and ideation – let’s follow the spark!

Design
Design

Putting pen to paper, this is where I refine and build out your dreamscape. Textures, moodboards, and layouts oh my! In the design phase, I like to start by building out a deck in which clients can fully grasp the concept, sourcing, sketches, layouts – you name it! This is usually where I will do a site visit and really get a feel for what we’re working with

Implementation
Implementation

Showtime, baby! From the initial idea to a completely bespoke experience, this is the moment of truth. I’ll take charge of the (metaphorical) heavy lifting on installation day (think deliveries, painting, etc.) – so you can enjoy and interact along with your audience and watch your event come to life!
