The Team
Ryan Godfrey Johnson
Founder & Creative Director
Ryan grew up honing his craft in some of Australia’s most design-forward hotels.
With a track record for creating devastatingly memorable brands, scroll-stopping content and results-driven strategies, he developed a laser-focused eye for what looks good. Understanding that branding extends well beyond logo design, penetrating every touchpoint of the customer experience has allowed Ryan to successfully launch some of Australia’s most premium offerings. When he’s not flaring Pantone swatches, Ryan’s happiest moments are spent outdoors in a fresh pair of white sneakers, bar-hopping or ordering way too much from the room service menu.
Dina Strangaric
Graphic Designer & Social Media Manager
The first to arrive to the office in the morning – fuelled with a large mocha – Dina is Painting Towns' resident Graphic Designer.
She's quickly proven herself to be a design powerhouse at Painting Towns HQ.
Cat lover and Comic Sans hater, Dina has an innate ability to wield the pen tool and turn a blank canvas into a masterpiece.
