Hello, I’m

Ryan Miglavs

I do many things

A Designer

I design

At my small and juicy design firm, A Socialist Pear, I make tasty websites, software, products, and paperstuffs.

Note: I am no longer accepting freelance client projects.

An Advocate

I advocate

Children get left out of the political process, while their educations and lives are shaped by it.

At Stand for Children, I build websites and craft communication and technology strategies that give students a voice for change.

A Mindreader

I mystify

After traveling the world learning about magic and mysteries, I now perform for large and small audiences in stage shows, events, and private parties.

Learn more about my magic and get in touch to add mystery to your next event.

I also sometimes hang out with friends, sing karaoke, read Agatha Christie novels, drink coffee, admire the sunset, enjoy Scotch, nerd out, eat pears, get high, party, look at a font and say, “mmm, that looks good”, stare at walls, donate blood platelets, and shhh don’t tell anyone I sing in the shower.

Now with innovative card-based navigation

Notes

If you have a moment, let me tell you a bit about the background of this website, and also how I built it.

Why the cards? I take all my notes on 3" x 5" index cards, because they’re just the right size for a digestible amount of information about a single idea. Each topic gets its own card. Recreating the card idea for this website seemed natural, and had some of the same benefits.

Play around and you might discover one of the cool benefits of cards, along with a little something I hid for the playful.

Colophon

This site uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I used Jquery to make my Javascript life easier, and the Jquery UI plugin for draggability.
