Ryan Scanlon(I)
- Producer
Ryan Scanlon grew up on a dairy farm on the surf coast in Victoria, Australia and ended up studying fine art at University. He was an artist for the surf brand Quiksilver and would hand paint fabric and t-shirt designs. After a year, the company put him through a product design apprenticeship where I learnt fabric design, pattern making and tailoring. In 2012 he was working in the US as the senior Vice President of product for Quiksilver when he chose to leave the company for the final time to focus on my own idea and founded NeedEssentials in 2013.
