Ryan Krause has always been drawn to creativity and artistic thinking, but it wasn’t until he discovered industrial design that he found a career path that truly clicked. Today, he co-runs Sample Studio with co-founder Tyler Anderson, building products that go from concept to customers’ hands. Before launching Sample Studio, Ryan and Tyler created Render Weekly, an Instagram community where they shared designs, hosted sketch challenges, and connected with other creatives. The response helped lay the foundation for their industrial design and 3D visualization consultancy. Sample Studio relies on Autodesk Fusion throughout the design process. From conceptual sketches and generative 3D design to manufacturing-ready CAD models, Fusion helps the team streamline communication, iterate quickly, and collaborate seamlessly with clients and manufacturers. For a small business, flexibility, speed, and strong client communication are essential. Running their own studio gives Ryan and Tyler the freedom to move quickly, stay closely connected to the creative process, and deliver thoughtful design solutions without unnecessary barriers. As Sample Studio continues to grow, Ryan remains focused on building a business grounded in creativity, collaboration, and hands-on problem-solving.
