About Ryan Fulks

I'm a video editor, motion designer, and content creator with eight years of experience telling stories through visuals.

I've worked on branded campaigns, animated educational pieces, sports content, and much more. I bring a mix of editing, motion graphics, and visual effects to each project to help it resonate. I've worked with teams at FloSports, Big Picture Lab, and Somnio Solutions, producing content internally and for brands including HPE, IBM, Oracle, and Dell.

The part of the craft I'm best at is writing for retention. A cut only works if people stay for it, so I build videos around the hook, the pacing, and the payoff. That means reading the retention graph, finding where attention drops, and fixing the structure rather than the polish. It's how I've made content that travels: short-form that gets picked up and long-form people finish.

I co-host and edit Think Bigger, an independent educational media project I make with Vince. Through videos on science, history, technology, psychology, and culture, our team of filmmakers, writers, and independent journalists makes complex ideas interesting, accessible, and entertaining across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Day to day I'm Multimedia Production & Creative Lead at Reliant Plumbing, where I direct and edit digital content built for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. I'm certified across the Adobe Creative Suite and work primarily in Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop.

Alongside the creative side, I have strong technical and IT proficiency. I set up and optimize post workflows, troubleshoot the problems that stall a project, and get media pipelines running so a team can actually move. I've led post-production end to end on a wide range of work, from editing and compositing through animation and graphic design, and I'm comfortable working solo or inside a larger team.

Always open to connecting, collaborating, and creating something meaningful.
