Work at the intersection of high‑performance sport, brand storytelling, and product.
Where Performance Meets Poetry
I'm Ryan Bradley Rosenbaum—a creative director, producer, and engineer working at the intersection of high-performance sport and brand storytelling. I co-founded Phlex Swim (hardware + software + ML for the water) and have had the privilege of working with over 20 Olympic medalists and world champions. My work focuses on authentic storytelling—built for YouTube, Instagram, and sponsor deliverables while honoring the dedication of these incredible athletes.
Over the last eight years, I've built a visual language that bridges athletic excellence and cinematic narrative. It's not just about capturing moments—it's about revealing the human engine that makes them possible.
Technical DNA
Underwater Cinematography
Poetry of motion below the surface—specialized rigs, clean geometry, and readable lines.
Athlete Storytelling
Character-first narratives where performance meets personality.
Brand Integration
Product stories that feel earned—never interruptive.
Social-First Editing
Retention-aware cuts for YouTube, Reels, and Shorts, with sponsor beats that respect the audience.
