Ryn currently lives in Richmond, VA with her dogs Peeler and Chewie. She splits her time between running her business, creative directing Richmond Grid magazine, and contracting with various agencies around the country. The brain-child of the 2013–14 blog/social experiment BatterUp, Ryn can still be found dropping off a cake when you least expect it. Having lost 175 pounds over the last few years, she spends a lot of her free time boxing at UFC Gym with her coaches.
