Ryan Staake is a Filmmaker, Designer and Producer working across multiple mediums.

Raised in St. Louis on MTV, Macintoshes and MYST, Staake's work explores bold concepts, technologically-innovative production methods and non-traditional viewing experiences. Originally trained in graphic design at Carnegie Mellon University and RISD, Ryan spent the late 2000s working as a Human Interface Designer at Apple, contributing to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac OS.

After his time at Apple, Ryan founded Brooklyn-based Creative Production Studio POMP&CLOUT to serve as a filmmaking and design imprint for himself. Pomp&Clout quickly expanded beyond Staake to include a talented director roster, production team and cadre of artists.
