Ryan M. Handley | Creative & Marketing Director

I’m a creative and marketing director with 20+ years leading brand, campaign, and production work for mission-driven organizations — municipalities, healthcare systems, cultural institutions, higher education, and nonprofits. I run Artists Vision, a boutique creative agency I founded in 2012, and most recently directed video production and global campaigns reaching 70+ countries as Marketing Manager at Star’s Edge International. I also teach digital media and marketing at Seminole State College of Florida, where I’ve been adjunct faculty since 2015.
