About 

Ryan Parham is the Associate Director of Studio Operations at CCA. His team of Studio Operation Managers oversee many of the Design and 3D Fine Arts programs, including the MFA Graduate Studios.

As a Journeyman member of IATSE Local 16, Ryan has worked with numerous theater, film, and television companies throughout the Bay Area as a designer, prop fabricator, set dresser, upholsterer, rigger, and scenic carpenter/painter. His theater work includes productions at American Conservatory Theater (SF), San Francisco Opera, and Intiman Theatre (Seattle).

He holds a BA in Performance & Design from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and an MFA in Directing from Humboldt State University.

Currently residing in Pacifica with his family, he really does enjoy walks on the beach and s'mores at sunset. However since growing up in Wisconsin, surfing continues to remain a mystery to him.
