MetaPaint Communications Design -- Who We Are

The simplest description of what we do is Communications Design. We make websites, posters, logos, brochures, newsletters, photographs and all kinds of techy art creations for print or web communications.

MetaPaint has been around since 2002 when Jenny and Ryan accidentally formed a business through what began as collaboration. Ryan is a photographer/wanderer/designer with a BFA in fine arts photography and an MA in anthropology. Jenny is an information junkie/traveler/mediast with a BA in journalism and an MA in media psychology.

Together, our aim is to bring technological and sociological advances to people, ideas and movements we care about. We cross barriers between art and science, culture and technology, media and communication.

This combined background in fine arts, media psychology, anthropology, journalism, information architecture, communication theory and photography has shaped the services and activities you find here.

"Computing is not about computers. It is about life. We are discussing a fundamental cultural change: Being digital is not just being a geek or Internet surfer or mathematically savvy child. It is actually a way of living and is going to impact absolutely everything. The way you work, the way you study, the way you amuse yourself, the way you communicate among your friends, with your kids."
