Consultation

Does this sound like you?

Want to begin a career freelancing in art, music, writing, or another creative field?

Do you struggle to find clients who pay a fair wage and respect your time?

Are you a composer or audio professional looking for feedback on your work?

I can help

I’m Ryan Ike, a BAFTA-nominated freelance composer and sound designer, and I’ve been making music for award-winning video games for over a decade. In that time, I’ve developed a passion for helping artists get what they want, whether you’re a fellow creative type trying to get a freelance career off the ground, a game developer looking to scope the audio for your next project, or an audio pro in need of advice on anything from mixing to gear to lining up work.

I’ve given dozens of talks at national conventions, maker spaces, and schools, with a focus on those who want to work in games or other creative fields. My goal is for creatives to get paid more, stress less, and to cultivate a healthy life outside of work.

Reach out if you:

Want advice on starting or elevating a career as a freelancer, whether you’re a composer like me, or have a different creative background

Want to learn how to network effectively, make a solid contract, and set a fair rate for yourself

Are a composer or sound designer looking for advice on gear, techniques, or feedback on your work

Once you’ve reached out (email preferred for consultation inquiries), I or someone on my team should get back to you within 3 business days! At that point, we’ll set up a free call so I can learn more about you and how I can help, as well as answer any questions you have about doing a consultation with me. When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll schedule your consultation. I’ll also send along an outline of what we’ll be discussing, as well as potential recommendations for what to prepare before our chat so you can get the most out of our time!
