For those who have asked me who my product photographer is, I thought I’d virtually introduce him to you. His name is Ryan Slimak, he lives in Redmond WA, and he’s been working with me since the early days of getting Plaid Doctrine off the ground.

I was introduced to Ryan from a close friend. At the time, Ryan was looking to build out his product photography portfolio, and lucky for me I was looking for someone living close by who was interested in doing product photography. He’s been a great partner for me because he is creative, extremely dedicated, and very professional.

Here are some non-product shots that were in Ryan’s portfolio that I love:

Are you carrying around a bulky, heavy wallet that has no suitable place to carry the ginormous receipts that you get from stores these days? Well, we designed a very simple pouch wallet that helps you quickly put away your receipts, credit card, cash, and coins at the checkout counter, without trying to cram everything in various impractical pockets and hiding places. The best thing about our zip wallet is it’s sustainably made from vegetable-dyed leather, and individually crafted in California.

What do I carry in mine? My iPhone, my license, a few credit cards, a Costco card, insurance cards, receipts, a few dollars, and loose change. For some reason I always have lots of pennies, and never enough quarters.

Our new travel wallet is made from water-repelling vegetable-dyed leather sourced from a tannery in the Midwest.

A perfect gift for family and friends– summer travel season is almost here!
